About 17 Temple Close
17 Temple Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 375.8% above the 1997 sale of £66,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm. At 75 m² it's 22% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 16 EPCs).
