Overview

About 2 Faringdon Road

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

2 Faringdon Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EB). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 123.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 24.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
