Overview

About 23 Astwood Drive

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

23 Astwood Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1EN). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 127 m² it's 25.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 4 EPCs). Across 2003–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 is 32.9% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£309/sq ft) was about 23.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Astwood Drive is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 1EN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 23 Astwood Drive. 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 23 Astwood Drive was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, 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 23 Astwood Drive. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 1EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Astwood Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
