About 3 Cavendish Road
3 Cavendish Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1JG). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £278,000 sits 100% above the 2007 sale of £139,000.
