Flat 2, 26 Harcourt Street, Luton, LU1 3QH
About Flat 2
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since October 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 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 37.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 72.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
