19 Derwent Avenue, Luton, LU3 2DX
About 19 Derwent Avenue
19 Derwent Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 2DX). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 is 46.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,041/sq ft) was about 306.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold August 2021 for £280,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
