Overview

About 4 Russell Grove

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

4 Russell Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Millbrook, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2JE). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in August 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 is 47.1% above the 2015 sale price.

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 4 Russell Grove is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 2JE. 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 4 Russell Grove. 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 4 Russell Grove was lodged in December 2013 at band E and expired in December 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Russell Grove. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 2JE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Russell Grove is in council tax band D. 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.
