Overview

About 16 Kingsdown Avenue

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

16 Kingsdown Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7BU). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 50.5% above the 2015 sale of £313,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 145 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 34 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in July 2015.
