About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 26 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (26–64 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good.
