About 3 Cromwell Road
3 Cromwell Road is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 53.2% above the 2008 sale of £205,000.
