Overview

About 42a

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

42a is a two-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU4 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 is 29.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£417/sq ft) was about 85% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in June 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
