Local market context
13 Cromwell Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
