15 Bunyans Close, Luton, LU3 2PX

15 Bunyans Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 2PX). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1380 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 513.3% above the 1997 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£43/sq ft) was about 85.3% below the postcode norm.
