About 8 Aspley Road
8 Aspley Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9JU). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
