Overview

About 15 Brightmans Drive

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

15 Brightmans Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Maulden, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2HL). It has a recorded floor area of 183 m² (around 1972 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £685,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 34.7% below the postcode norm.
