Overview

About 16d

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

16d is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. At 53 m² this is the 19th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–140 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 26 units on file.

It hasn't traded since February 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 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.5% per year. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
