About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 4HP). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 663 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 62 m² this is the 40th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–126 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 52.4% above the 2008 sale of £103,000.
