Overview

About 21 Lawn Gardens

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

21 Lawn Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 3UN). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 63 m² this is the 19th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 36 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2009–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 is 13.1% above the 2018 sale price.

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 21 Lawn Gardens is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 3UN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 21 Lawn Gardens. 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 21 Lawn Gardens was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, 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. None is matched to 21 Lawn Gardens. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 3UN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Lawn Gardens 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.
