Overview

About 3 The Barns

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

3 The Barns is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Maulden, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil.

At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 3 The Barns is modelled from its 210 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 2BQ. 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 3 The Barns. 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 3 The Barns was lodged in September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 3 The Barns. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 2BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 The Barns 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.
