Overview

About 4 Cowdray Close

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

4 Cowdray Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 8QS). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (51 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 90.9% above the 2007 sale of £165,000.
