Overview

About 18 Avondale Road

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

18 Avondale Road is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in September 1998. 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 £257,000 sits 889.8% above the 1998 sale of £25,966. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£22/sq ft) was about 82.9% below the postcode norm.
