About 23 Broad Mead
23 Broad Mead is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1RX). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. Period features are noted in the property record. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 is 13.1% above the 2021 sale price.
