1 Bedford Road, Harrow, HA1 4LY

1 Bedford Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harrow (HA1 4LY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2017) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. At 49 m² this is the 4th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 24 units on file.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 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 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 53.8% above the 2008 sale of £208,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£394/sq ft) was about 58.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
