Overview

About 23a

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

23a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 2NA). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900.

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 23a is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 2NA. 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 23a. 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 23a was lodged in October 2017 at band E and is valid until October 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to 23a. 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 2NA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
