Overview

About Albany Grove

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

Albany Grove is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 35 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Albany Grove, where floor areas span 32–94 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 100% above the 2013 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 28.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in August 2013.

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 Albany Grove is modelled from its 35 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0AZ. 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 Albany Grove. 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 Albany Grove was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 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. None is matched to Albany Grove. 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 0AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
