How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 210 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 1BP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Sales history & valuation
Every recorded sale of this home, how its price has moved, and what neighbouring properties have sold for.
15a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
No sales recorded with HM Land Registry
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in MK45 1BP: £455,000 (2024–2020).

About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2257 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 210 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 1BP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. No sale is recorded for 15a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15a was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 15a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 1BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15a is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
