About 40a
40a is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 42 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–128 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 42 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 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 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year.
