About 17 Kennington Road
17 Kennington Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 89.2% above the 2008 sale of £185,000.
