Overview

About 10 Merchants Court

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

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. At 56 m² this is the 12th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–87 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 24 units on file. 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.

11 years since the last transfer (July 2015). Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 36.3% above the 2015 sale price.
