Overview

About 7 Durham Road

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

7 Durham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 97.6% above the 2014 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 49.3% below the postcode norm. At 119 m² it's 22.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 13 EPCs). On the market in March 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
