Overview

About 4 Farnley Grove

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

4 Farnley Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1846 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 sits 72.3% above the 2012 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 36.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2015. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 4 Farnley Grove is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0BN. 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 4 Farnley 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 4 Farnley Grove was lodged in May 2009 at band C and expired in May 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 4 Farnley 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Farnley Grove is in council tax band F. 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.
