Overview

About 27 Prebend Street

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

27 Prebend Street is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 1QN). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump.
