Overview

About 40 Brookes Road

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

40 Brookes Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 7th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–104 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 52.9% above the 2007 sale of £102,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
