Overview

About 191a

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

191a is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1BT). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the 6th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 90.6% above the 1999 sale of £85,000.
