20 Hartley Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0HX). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2011. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
