Overview

About 39 Acacia Road

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

39 Acacia Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0HT). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in October 1996. 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 £286,000 sits 766.7% above the 1996 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 76.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
