About 8 Granville Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Granville Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 37). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 8 Granville Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 1PA. 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 8 Granville 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 8 Granville Road was lodged in March 2010 at band G and expired in March 2020, 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. None is matched to 8 Granville 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 1PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Granville Road 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.
