19 Lambourn Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7GQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. 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 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 sits 52.4% above the 2007 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 65.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 79 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 26 EPCs).
