17 Prebend Street is a one-bedroom detached house in Bedford (MK40 1QN). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 61 m² this is the 4th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–194 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 17 units on file.
2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 10% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 64.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 61 m² it's 26.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 16 EPCs).
