About Charlottes Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Charlottes Court is a detached house in Luton (LU1 1RP). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 38 m² this is the 5th smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Charlottes Court, where floor areas span 33–39 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (57 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in September 1999. 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 £124,000 sits 300% above the 1999 sale of £31,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 56.1% below the postcode norm.

- How the estimate is made

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 Charlottes Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Charlottes Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
