About 282 Leagrave Road
282 Leagrave Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1022 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 95 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 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 106.2% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 57.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
