16 Grange Avenue, Luton, LU4 9AT

16 Grange Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU4 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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. At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 57% above the 2007 sale of £300,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
