Overview

About 5 Arthur Street

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

5 Arthur Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3SF). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 45.2% above the 2015 sale price.
