Overview

About 30 Cowdray Close

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

30 Cowdray Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 8QS). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 is 17.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 56.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2021 for £253,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
