About 1d
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1d is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0BW). It has a recorded floor area of 18 m² (around 194 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). At 18 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 72 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 72 units on file.
It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 18 m² it sits well below the postcode median (43 m² across 71 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 1d is modelled from its 18 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0BW. 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 1d. 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 1d was lodged in December 2025 at band D and is valid until December 2035. 5 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 1d. 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0BW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
