Overview

About 1 Bracknell Close

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

1 Bracknell Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0TL). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Other recorded features include a loft. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 456.5% above the 2000 sale of £73,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 69.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
