Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 5BS. 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.

Flat 3 has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 2 sales in LU1 5BS: £150,000 (2000–2000).

Flat 3 is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 76 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (19–76 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (60 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
At 76 m² the property is well over the postcode median (36 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2000. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
