Overview

About Quince Cottage

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

Quince Cottage is a detached house in Haynes, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £806,000 is 13.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 46.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £710,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
