Overview

About 3 Atherstone Road

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

3 Atherstone Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 8QU). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 109.4% above the 2013 sale of £149,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 40.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
