1 Ascot Road, Luton, LU3 1NU
About 1 Ascot Road
1 Ascot Road is a detached house in Luton (LU3 1NU). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1998–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 sits 213.2% above the 2001 sale of £106,000. At 76 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 21 EPCs).
