Overview

About 18 Tilgate

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

18 Tilgate is a two-bedroom 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 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, 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. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 sits 71.8% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 27.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
