Overview

About 1 Lewsey Road

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

1 Lewsey Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EN). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 sits 145.6% above the 2008 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
