About 25 Malzeard Road
25 Malzeard Road is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
