14 Bakewell Close, Luton, LU4 0DQ

14 Bakewell Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 30). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 102% above the 2009 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
