About Lilacs

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

Lilacs is a detached house in Chawston, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
