23 Ravensthorpe, Luton, LU2 8AU

23 Ravensthorpe is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 8AU). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
