About 17 Harefield Road

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

17 Harefield Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1TH). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
