About 3 Douglas Road
3 Douglas Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 8EB). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 21 years, with the last transfer in September 2005. At 212 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 83.2% above the 2005 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 50.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
