Overview

About 78b

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

78b is a three-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
