About 60 Gatehill Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
60 Gatehill Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU3 4EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
