Overview

About 21 Linden Court

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

21 Linden Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 2DG). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 48 m² this is the 12th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–54 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 27 units on file.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
