Overview

About 2 Church Lane

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

2 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitton, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2101 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £922,000 sits 74% above the 2013 sale of £530,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in September 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.

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 2 Church Lane is modelled from its 195 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 5EL. 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 2 Church Lane. 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 2 Church Lane was lodged in July 2010 at band F and expired in July 2020, 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. 7 applications are matched to 2 Church Lane. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK45 5EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Church Lane is in council tax band G. 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.
