The estimate for 13 Collingdon Street is modelled from its 25 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 1RT. 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.

13 Collingdon Street is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 11 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 25 m² this is the 6th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 40 units on file.
Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 42.7% below the 2021 sale of £525,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,951/sq ft) was about 1090.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (36 m² across 39 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). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2005. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £525,000 in October 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Because the property was built before 1919, has no mains gas supply, and has solid (non-cavity) walls, we believe a Level 3 building survey should be considered.
