315 New Bedford Road, Luton, LU3 1NH

315 New Bedford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1NH). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 88 m² it's 22.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (114 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 is 43% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
