About 18 Dewsbury Road
18 Dewsbury Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 80.6% above the 2007 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 28.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
