About 14 Black Swan Lane
14 Black Swan Lane is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 2LU). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 109.4% above the 2007 sale of £180,000. At 115 m² it's 18.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 32 EPCs).
