Overview

About 4 The Close

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

4 The Close is a mid-terrace house in Newton Blossomville, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8AT). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
