About 16 Flitt Leys Close

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

16 Flitt Leys Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0FY). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
