About 61 London Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
61 London Road is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 3UG). It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 24 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (24–235 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2022. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
