About 37c
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
37c is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU1 5DA). It has a recorded floor area of 14 m² (around 151 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 14 m² this is the 7th smallest of 58 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 12–105 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 58 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 1081.8% above the 1997 sale of £16,500. At 14 m² it sits well below the postcode median (38 m² across 57 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused.

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 37c is modelled from its 14 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 5DA. 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 37c. 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 37c was lodged in June 2026 at band D and is valid until June 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. 4 applications are matched to 37c. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 5DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
