21a, Studley Road, Luton, LU3 1BB

21a is a detached house in Luton (LU3 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 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. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (34 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £461,000 sits 455.4% above the 1998 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 60.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
