About 10 Merchants Court
10 Merchants Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 0AT). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
