24a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 30.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 77.7% above the 2014 sale of £179,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in January 2014.
24a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
