Overview

About 8 Crown Court

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

8 Crown Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 1JB). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 6th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 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 £147,000 sits 188.2% above the 2000 sale of £51,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 42.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
