How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Collingdon Street is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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.

About 5 Collingdon Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Collingdon Street is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 73 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 38.2% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 78.8% below the postcode norm.

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 5 Collingdon Street is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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.
- 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 5 Collingdon Street. 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 5 Collingdon Street was lodged in November 2013 at band G and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 5 Collingdon Street. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 1RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
