Overview

About 7 Chandos Road

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

7 Chandos Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU4 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2003–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 sits 121.8% above the 2003 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 42.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 66 m² it's 25.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 36 EPCs).
