Overview

About 13a

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

13a is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1JA). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 43 m² this is the 54th smallest of 100 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–206 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 100 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 is 19.5% below the 2006 sale of £200,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£432/sq ft) was about 222% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since April 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
