Overview

About 2 Farley Lodge

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

2 Farley Lodge is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 2 Farley Lodge (20–38 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
