Overview

About 2 Bushmead Road

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

2 Bushmead Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7EU). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 139 m² it's 27.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 27 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 is 31.3% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 36.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
