Overview

About 41a

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

41a is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 sits 54.5% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
