Overview

About 12 Marlborough Road

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

12 Marlborough Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £530,000 sits 63.1% above the 2014 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 49.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 137 m² it's 17.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 28 EPCs).
