About 1 Bedford Road
1 Bedford Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Blackpool (FY1 2QS). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
