1b, Bancroft Road, Luton, LU3 2NB
About 1b
1b is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 64.3% above the 2007 sale of £221,500. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
