Overview

About 8 Armitage Gardens

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

8 Armitage Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 8RD). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
