Overview

About 12 Norfolk Road

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

12 Norfolk Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0RE). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold February 2021 for £310,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £361,000 is 16.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 90.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
