About 38b

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

38b is a property in Dunstable (LU6 1TA). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 246 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 23 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (23–72 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 51.5% below the 2022 sale of £340,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,379/sq ft) was about 406.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
