About 3 Francis Street
3 Francis Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area.
