Overview

About The Elms

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

The Elms is a four-bedroom detached house in Aley Green, Luton, Luton (LU1 4DS). It has a recorded floor area of 339 m² (around 3649 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and a basement.

At 339 m² the property is well over the postcode median (161 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,018,000 sits 99.6% above the 2014 sale of £510,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£140/sq ft) was about 54.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 The Elms is modelled from its 339 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 4DS. 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 The Elms. 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 The Elms was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to The Elms. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 4DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Elms is in council tax band G. 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.
