Overview

About 1 Alder Crescent

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

1 Alder Crescent is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1TG). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 173 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 75.9% above the 2005 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm.
