About 10 12
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 12 is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 2SE). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 61 m² this is the 4th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in 10 12, where floor areas span 37–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 86.2% below the 2024 sale of £1,295,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £1,295,000 in February 2024.

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 10 12 is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 2SE. 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 10 12. 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 10 12 was lodged in March 2024 at band D and is valid until March 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 10 12. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 2SE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
