10 Alder Crescent, Luton, LU3 1TG

10 Alder Crescent is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1TG). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in January 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 134 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 £281,000 sits 620.5% above the 1996 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 83.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
