Overview

About 1 Ashton Road

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

1 Ashton Road is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3QE). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 498 sq ft). At 46 m² this is the 12th smallest of 64 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–176 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 64 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 101.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. At 46 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 63 EPCs). One planning record on file: HMO conversion refused in 2025.

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 1 Ashton Road is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 3QE. 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 1 Ashton Road. 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 1 Ashton Road was lodged in April 2009 at band C and expired in April 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Ashton Road. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 3QE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
