About 69b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
69b is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1EA). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 49 m² this is the 20th smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–757 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 51 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 25.8% below the 2007 sale of £345,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£654/sq ft) was about 404% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
