About 2 Hammond Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Hammond Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Slip End, Luton, Luton (LU1 4DA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 68 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 77.5% above the 2012 sale of £142,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2 Hammond Court is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 4DA. 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 2 Hammond Court. 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 2 Hammond Court was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, 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 2 Hammond Court. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 4DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Hammond Court 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.
