282 Leagrave Road, Luton, LU3 1RB

282 Leagrave Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 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 91 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 £252,000 sits 93.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 64.4% 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.
