Overview

About 1 Lucas Court

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

1 Lucas Court is a detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4RN). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 sits 346.3% above the 1997 sale of £126,370. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 53.9% below the postcode norm. At 135 m² it's 25.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (181 m² median across 4 EPCs).
