Overview

About 8 Brinsmade Road

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

8 Brinsmade Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2PP). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1115 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 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (165 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 25.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £902,000 is 34.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£603/sq ft) was about 101.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Brinsmade Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 2PP. 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 8 Brinsmade Road. 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 8 Brinsmade Road was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, 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 8 Brinsmade Road. 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 2PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Brinsmade Road 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.
