Overview

About 9 Bedford Avenue

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

9 Bedford Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Silsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2659 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2000 — that's 26 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. At 247 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £839,000 sits 236.3% above the 2000 sale of £249,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 56.7% below the postcode norm.
