About 21a
21a is a mid-terrace house in Lidlington, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0SP). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 sits 59.4% above the 2008 sale of £180,000.
