Overview

About 17a

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

17a is a four-bedroom detached house in Silsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1202 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

Held since December 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £566,000 sits 258.2% above the 1998 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 39.3% below the postcode norm. At 112 m² it's 15.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (132 m² median across 25 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.

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 17a is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4ER. 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 17a. 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 17a was lodged in November 2008 at band D 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. 1 application is matched to 17a. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 4ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17a is in council tax band F. 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.
