Overview

About 6 Albert Place

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

6 Albert Place is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Houghton Conquest, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 630 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2005–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 sits 78.3% above the 2011 sale of £143,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 44.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005.

Method

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 6 Albert Place is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 3LJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 6 Albert Place. 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 Albert Place was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, 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 6 Albert Place. 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 7 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 3LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Albert Place is in council tax band B. 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.
