Overview

About 73 Ampthill Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

73 Ampthill Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 sits 360.3% above the 1998 sale of £126,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 75.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 176 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (138 m² median across 3 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
