Overview

About 1 Barclay Court

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

1 Barclay Court is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–44 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 43.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 86.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £90,000. 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 Barclay Court is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0BE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Barclay Court. 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 Barclay Court was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, 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 Barclay Court. 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 0BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Barclay Court is in council tax band A. 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.
