About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0ER). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. At 39 m² this is the 4th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–43 m².

It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 sits 118% above the 2001 sale of £89,000.
