Overview

About 117 Grange Road

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

117 Grange Road is a detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NT). It has a recorded floor area of 610 m² (around 6566 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band H. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year.
