About 75 New Bedford Road
75 New Bedford Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since August 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 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 71.4% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused.
