About 21 Durbar Road
21 Durbar Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU4 8BA). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. At 29 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–173 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 36 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 73.9% above the 2013 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£577/sq ft) was about 340% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 29 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2004. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
