Overview

About 9 Acacia Road

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

9 Acacia Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0HT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £241,000 sits 81.2% above the 2006 sale of £133,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
