Overview

About 1 Braemar Court

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

1 Braemar Court is an end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. At 68 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 Braemar Court (68–78 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 45.6% above the 2009 sale price.
