Overview

About 5 Abbey Close

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

5 Abbey Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2SH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1170 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in October 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 486% above the 1995 sale of £71,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 84% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2000.
