Get started1a is an end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 3BY). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–239 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 58 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home.
It hasn't traded since January 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 57 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 is 38.7% above the 2002 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£426/sq ft) was about 148.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
Planning history includes both a loft conversion and an extension — the classic family-home expansion.
