Overview

About 1 Sherborne Avenue

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

1 Sherborne Avenue is a five-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7BB). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1617 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

9 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 3 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £589,000 sits 57.1% above the 2012 sale of £375,000. At 150 m² it's 23.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 13 EPCs).
