AI Summary
This is a dated end-of-terrace cluster home in the Wigmore area of Luton, offered to let at £1,100 per month, in a condition that requires full modernisation before it would appeal to most tenants. The Wigmore area is generally considered one of the more desirable parts of Luton, which is a genuine positive, and comparable sales in the area suggest property values in the mid-to-upper range for the postcode. However, prospective tenants should be aware of the property's poor EPC rating (E), electric-only heating, and the extent of work needed — all of which will affect running costs and day-to-day comfort.
