About 2a
2a is a detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £354,000 sits 226.3% above the 2000 sale of £108,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 27.1% below the postcode norm.
