About Venton

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

Venton is a five-bedroom detached house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8LS). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.
