Overview

About 1b

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

1b is a four-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NH). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2094 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a self-contained annexe.

Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 sits 83.1% above the 2011 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 43.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
