Overview

About 15 Bedford Road

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

15 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Houghton Conquest, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3LS). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on lpg. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 77.5% above the 2007 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 20.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 15 Bedford Road is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 3LS. 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 15 Bedford 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 15 Bedford Road was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 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 15 Bedford 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 3LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Bedford Road 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.
