About 15 Cambridge Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Cambridge Street is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 3QS). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2019 for £173,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2005–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 36.4% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 27.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 15 Cambridge Street is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 3QS. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 15 Cambridge 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 15 Cambridge Street was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 15 Cambridge 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 3QS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Cambridge Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
