We have recently reported that LuFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ becomes ferroelectric below 330 K, owing to a charge-ordering transition of Fe ions. As details of the properties of this material have not been reported so far, we have investigated its local structure in the ferromagnetic phase by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The analysis of pair-distribution function showed the existence of displacement of Lu atoms; this structure is different from the average structure of this materials known thus far. This result encourages a detailed reinvestigation of crystal structure of LuFe$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$. We also show the results obtained from some other experimental methods, such as dielectric measurement and electron diffraction.
