Overview

About 153 High Town Road

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

153 High Town Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0BX). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.

At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2022. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 17% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 58.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold December 2021 for £112,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
