About 4 Corncastle Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Corncastle Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 5HB). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 sits 56.6% above the 2014 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 21.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2017. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 4 Corncastle Road is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 5HB. 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 4 Corncastle Road. 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 4 Corncastle Road was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Corncastle Road. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 5HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Corncastle Road 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.
