Overview

About 2 Silver Lion Cottages

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

2 Silver Lion Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8NL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 69.2% above the 2008 sale of £162,500.
