Overview

About 43 Copthorne

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

43 Copthorne is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 8RL). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
