Overview

About 117a

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

117a is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 12th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
