About 25 Catsbrook Road
25 Catsbrook Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 2ES). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since January 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 sits 94.1% above the 2010 sale of £188,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
