Albany Grove is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). At 52 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Albany Grove, where floor areas span 32–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since February 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 276.6% above the 2001 sale of £47,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 51% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
