About 12 Alton Road
12 Alton Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3NS). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1363 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 161.2% above the 2010 sale of £116,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 54.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2012.
