About 12 Bank Close
12 Bank Close is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 9NX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
