Overview

About 18 Appleby Gardens

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

18 Appleby Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunstable (LU6 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1995–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 sits 77% above the 2011 sale of £230,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 103 m² it's 15.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 30 EPCs).
