Overview

About 4 Old Vicarage Cottages

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

4 Old Vicarage Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 60.4% above the 2007 sale of £101,000.
