The estimate for 26 Front Street is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 4BS. 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.

26 Front Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Slip End, Luton, Luton (LU1 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 999 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £390,000 sits 81.4% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
26 Front Street's EPC is over a decade old — improvements since won't be reflected.
