Overview

About 3 Farley Lodge

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

3 Farley Lodge is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 5EN). It has a recorded floor area of 19 m² (around 205 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
