Overview

About 36a

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

36a is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 2NR). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 56 m² this is the 12th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–359 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average.

It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 50% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£572/sq ft) was about 85.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
