Overview

About 12 Laxton Close

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

12 Laxton Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 8SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 98.9% above the 2012 sale of £175,000. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
