Overview

About 1 Beech Road

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

1 Beech Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2016. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in July 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
