Overview

About 62 Barford Avenue

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

62 Barford Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0DT). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
