Overview

About 2 Pondfarm Cottages

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

2 Pondfarm Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8LX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Last changed hands 10 years ago, in July 2016. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 is 26% above the 2016 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
