Overview

About 1 Chatsworth Road

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

1 Chatsworth Road is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU4 8AS). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 72.7% above the 2016 sale of £150,000.
