Overview

About 280 Leagrave Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

280 Leagrave Road is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (46 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 617.1% above the 1995 sale of £41,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 55.6% below the postcode norm.
