Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2013. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 83.9% above the 2009 sale of £224,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm.
