Overview

About 4 Woburn Road

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

4 Woburn Road is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1EG). It has a recorded floor area of 351 m² (around 3778 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
