Overview

About 6 Church Lane

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

6 Church Lane is a semi-detached house in Flitton, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1414 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £487,000 sits 62.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 19.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
