Overview

About 5 Dunstable House

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

5 Dunstable House is a mid-terrace house in Marlow (SL7 2AD). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. At 113 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 77–131 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 80). The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2014. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,062,000 is 22.1% above the 2009 sale price.
