About 17 Tilgate

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

17 Tilgate is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 8RR). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
