Overview

About 22 24

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

22 24 is a three-bedroom detached house in Kensworth, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 3RG). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 139 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 40 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £589,000 is 47.2% above the 2009 sale price.
