About Parkwood
Parkwood is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7HR). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £606,000 is 44.3% above the 2017 sale price.
