Overview

About 1 Crescent Road

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

1 Crescent Road is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 489 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 45 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–133 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (24 versus a best of 80).

Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 55.8% below the 2022 sale of £450,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£921/sq ft) was about 1556.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £450,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 1 Crescent Road is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0AB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Crescent 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 1 Crescent Road was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, 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 1 Crescent 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
