1b, Butlin Road, Luton, LU1 1LB

1b is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1LB). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–82 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 249.3% above the 2002 sale of £35,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
