Overview

About 8 Buttercup Close

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

8 Buttercup Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunstable (LU6 3LA). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 63 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £335,000 is 36.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 28.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
