Overview

About 35a

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

35a is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 9PL). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
