About Hillside

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

Hillside is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Colmworth, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2JX). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in April 1999. At 128 m² it's 20.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 14 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 30% per year.
