Luton's tenure moved a long way in a decade: ownership fell from three in five households to barely half while private renting climbed from under a quarter to nearly three in ten. A floor specified in LU1 or LU3 today is more often bought by a landlord than by the person who will walk on it.
Luton’s housing stock is a practical mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around High Town and Bury Park, interwar semis across Stopsley and Leagrave, and new-build apartments near the station. A strong landlord and rental market sits alongside value-focused owner-occupiers seeking durable, cost-effective flooring that performs.
Hard-wearing laminate and luxury vinyl tile dominate in Luton, suiting busy family homes and rental properties where durability and easy maintenance matter most. Wood-effect LVT gives the warmth of timber at a practical price, while quality laminate offers a smart, scratch-resistant finish for landlords and homeowners alike.
Durable, waterproof and warm underfoot, ideal for Luton family homes and rentals.

Shop rangeBetween 2011 and 2021 ownership in Luton fell from 60.2% to 53.9% while private renting climbed from 22.6% to 29.0%, a swing of more than six points in a decade. LU1 to LU4 take in Biscot, Dallow, Farley, High Town, Challney and Leagrave. Semi-detached houses are the common form at 40.3%, terraces 22.0%, purpose-built flats 20.5%. Homes let to tenants are specified for durability and for a quick turnaround between lettings, which rules out finishes that need curing time or a specialist to repair. Inside a flat the lease normally sets a minimum impact sound performance, and a floating build-up over a resilient mat is the straightforward route to meeting it. In the houses, preparation absorbs the hours.
At the 2021 census, 24.7% of households in Luton lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 75.1% in a house or bungalow — 22.0% of all households in a terraced house.
