Overview

About 17 Markyate Road

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

17 Markyate Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Slip End, Luton, Luton (LU1 4BU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1100 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 102 m² it's 27.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (141 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
