Overview

About 49 Lime Avenue

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

49 Lime Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 955 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 84% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2013.
