Overview

About 12 Whitby Road

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

12 Whitby Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 sits 101.9% above the 2009 sale of £103,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 28.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
