About 22 Douglas Road

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

22 Douglas Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 8EB). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor.
