About 3 Green Lane
3 Green Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Swineshead, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2AF). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 41.9% per year.
