About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4JU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 60 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (60–67 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (44 versus a worst of 39). The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on electricity.
Most recent transfer was October 2025 at £230,000 — fresh data. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2011–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 60.5% 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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 4JU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in July 2020 at band E and is valid until July 2030. 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 Flat 2. 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 2 schools and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 4JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 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.
