About 1 The Wickets
1 The Wickets is a three-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7LA). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 81 m² this is the 15th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in December 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good.
Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
