Overview

About 1 The Orchard

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

1 The Orchard is a four-bedroom detached house in Slip End, Luton, Luton (LU1 4HL). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81).

It hasn't traded since January 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £600,000 sits 79.1% above the 2007 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 69.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
