Overview

About 14 Broadacres

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

14 Broadacres is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7YF). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
