215 Biscot Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 sits 60% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 34.1% below the postcode norm.
