About 29 Beech Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
29 Beech Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.

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 29 Beech Road is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 1DW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 29 Beech Road. 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 29 Beech Road was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 29 Beech Road. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 1DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 29 Beech Road is in council tax band B. 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.
