Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Flat C is modelled from its 32 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a 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.

Flat C has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in LU1 1PA: £215,000 (2022–2021).

Flat C is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1PA). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 42 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
