Overview

About 22a

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

22a is a four-bedroom detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 235 m² (around 2530 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

At 235 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £773,000 is 13.7% above the 2017 sale price.

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 22a is modelled from its 235 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4BZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 22a. 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 22a was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, 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 22a. 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 2 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 4BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
22a is in council tax band E. 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.
