About Unit 2
Unit 2 is a detached house in Luton (LU3 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 69 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£335/sq ft) was about 129.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
