About 8 Longcroft Drive
8 Longcroft Drive is a semi-detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4SF). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 sits 78.8% above the 2007 sale of £169,995.
