About 2a

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

2a is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU4 9BU). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
