About 49 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
49 High Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gravenhurst, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4HY). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on dual fuel.
6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 is 12.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£411/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 49 High Street is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4HY. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 49 High Street. 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 49 High Street was lodged in August 2019 at band E and is valid until August 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 49 High Street. 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 4HY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 49 High Street is in council tax band C. 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.
