Overview

About 7 Bushmead Road

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

7 Bushmead Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7EU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 52.9% above the 2015 sale of £269,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in July 2015.
