Overview

About 7 Saffron Close

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

7 Saffron Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7GF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
