Overview

About 53a

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

53a is a two-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1JT). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 69 m² this is the 8th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 22 units on file.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 53a is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 1JT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 53a. 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 53a was lodged in November 2019 at band C and is valid until November 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 53a. 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 1JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
53a is in council tax band B. 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.
