Overview

About 6 Capron Road

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

6 Capron Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 9BU). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 145 m² it's 22% larger than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 27 EPCs).
