Overview

About 25 Crescent Rise

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

25 Crescent Rise is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0AT). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 922 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. 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 £298,000 sits 664.1% above the 1996 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 76.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).

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 25 Crescent Rise is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0AT. 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 25 Crescent Rise. 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 25 Crescent Rise was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, 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 25 Crescent Rise. 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 0AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
25 Crescent Rise is in council tax band C. 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.
