At 28 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Bentley Court, where floor areas span 26–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
It hasn't traded since July 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 411.6% above the 1999 sale of £21,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Bentley Court is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 1EZ. 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 Bentley Court. 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 Bentley Court was lodged in August 2021 at band D and is valid until August 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Bentley Court. 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 1EZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bentley Court is in council tax band A. 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.
