Overview

About 15 Bancroft Road

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

15 Bancroft Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 51.4% above the 2014 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 16.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in September 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
