About 13 Elmtree Avenue

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

13 Elmtree Avenue is a semi-detached house in Cockernhoe, Luton, Luton (LU2 8QA). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
