About 19 Crancott Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
19 Crancott Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Houghton Conquest, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3ND). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1369 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The home occupies a corner plot.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 sits 71.4% above the 2009 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 19 Crancott Close is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 3ND. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 19 Crancott 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 19 Crancott Close was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, 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. 4 applications are matched to 19 Crancott 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 3ND, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 19 Crancott 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.
