Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is a detached house in Luton (LU1 2BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2012 onwards. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (31–43 m²). The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in August 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 £160,000 sits 62% above the 1999 sale of £98,750. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 31 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 2BJ. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 3 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 Flat 1. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 2BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
