About 276 Leagrave Road
276 Leagrave Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 69.7% above the 2008 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 300.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
