Overview

About 11 Gibbons Road

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

11 Gibbons Road is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. At 38 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–241 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 177.1% above the 1997 sale of £54,500. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
