About 15b

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

15b is a three-bedroom detached house in Wilstead, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3HN). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in September 2016.
