About 5 Gibbons Road

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

5 Gibbons Road is a mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
