About 15 16
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 16 is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 15 16 (30–53 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 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 £379,000 sits 51.6% above the 1998 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£774/sq ft) was about 336.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 15 16 is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0AE. 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 15 16. 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 15 16 was lodged in May 2023 at band C and is valid until May 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 16. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
