Overview

About 1 Cowdray Close

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

1 Cowdray Close is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 8QS). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 is 26.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 48.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
