Overview

About 18 Abercorn Road

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

18 Abercorn Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0RN). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 104.7% above the 2013 sale of £148,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in April 2013.
