Overview

About 16 Coventry Road

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

16 Coventry Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 4EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 41.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 80.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
