Overview

About 12 Faringdon Road

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

12 Faringdon Road is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in June 2002. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 135.3% above the 2002 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 46.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
