About Flat 5

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

Flat 5 is an end-of-terrace house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor.
