About 3 Bedford Road

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

3 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Albans (AL1 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1176 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
