Overview

About 8 Deacons Court

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

8 Deacons Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7NP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 4th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–50 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
