Overview

About 158 Hitchin Road

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

158 Hitchin Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0ES). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 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. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 420% above the 2000 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
