Overview

About 23 Barton Road

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

23 Barton Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Gravenhurst, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4JP). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 115.6% above the 2012 sale of £135,000. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 14 years since the last transfer (October 2012). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

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 23 Barton Road is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4JP. 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 23 Barton Road. 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 23 Barton Road was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, 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 23 Barton Road. 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 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 4JP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Barton Road 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.
