Overview

About 5 Austin Road

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

5 Austin Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1TY). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 90.2% above the 2015 sale of £163,000. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
