About 23 Northill Road
23 Northill Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Cople, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3TU). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 193 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £642,000 sits 121.4% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 41.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
