Overview

About 4 Chestnut Cottages

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

4 Chestnut Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8LL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 60.5% above the 2013 sale of £162,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 88.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
