Overview

About 15 Ames Close

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

15 Ames Close is a detached house in Luton (LU3 4AS). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since July 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £384,000 sits 426% above the 1996 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm. At 81 m² it's 21.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 20 EPCs).
