Overview

About 4 Sherborne Avenue

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

4 Sherborne Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7BB). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 99 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 13 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold October 2024 for £485,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020.
