Overview

About 6 Chestnut Close

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

6 Chestnut Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2PU). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Chestnut Close is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 2PU. 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 6 Chestnut Close. 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 6 Chestnut Close was lodged in June 2017 at band F and is valid until June 2027. 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 6 Chestnut Close. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 2PU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Chestnut Close 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.
