Overview

About 8 Hawthorn Crescent

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

8 Hawthorn Crescent is a semi-detached house in Caddington, Luton, Luton (LU1 4EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 69.1% above the 2009 sale of £246,000.
