The Luton market
Bedfordshire commuter market with 25-minute London rail link. Over the last twelve months Luton values moved up 1.1%; the UK-wide average sits at £272,000. At this price level, the difference between two agents' quotes is usually a few hundred pounds; their track record on similar Luton sales matters more.
