Local market context
5 Carole Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 25 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (25–53 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in November 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 sits 436.2% above the 1998 sale of £23,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 63.1% below the postcode norm. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (45 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
