About 16 Brereton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Brereton Road is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in May 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 856.3% above the 1997 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£20/sq ft) was about 84.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
