About 3 Hazelbury Crescent
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Hazelbury Crescent is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 26 m² this is the 8th smallest of 57 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–203 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 8 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.
Held since May 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 281.4% above the 1996 sale of £43,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 489.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2007. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 26 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (35 m² median across 56 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Hazelbury Crescent is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 1DF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Hazelbury Crescent. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Hazelbury Crescent was lodged in September 2022 at band C and is valid until September 2032. 8 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Hazelbury Crescent. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 1DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Hazelbury Crescent is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
