Overview

About 8 Maidenbower Avenue

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

8 Maidenbower Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunstable (LU6 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 728 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 96.1% above the 2009 sale of £154,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 42.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 68 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
