Overview

About 5 Bowland Crescent

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

5 Bowland Crescent is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunstable (LU6 3QD). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
