Overview

About 20 Brackley Road

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

20 Brackley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9SD). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 61.5% above the 2015 sale of £200,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
