Overview

About Fairways

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

Fairways is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Silsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4ES). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. At 42 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in Fairways, where floor areas span 22–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 14 units on file.

It hasn't traded since October 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £177,000 sits 176.6% above the 1999 sale of £64,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm.

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 Fairways is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4ES. 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 Fairways. 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 Fairways was lodged in December 2022 at band D and is valid until December 2032. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Fairways. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 4ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Fairways is in council tax band B. 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.
