Overview

About 8 Flax Close

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

8 Flax Close is an end-of-terrace house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
