Overview

About 233a

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

233a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 71 m² this is the 53rd smallest of 88 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–135 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64).

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 89.5% above the 2007 sale of £105,000. At 71 m² it's 29.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 87 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% 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 233a is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0BZ. 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 233a. 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 233a was lodged in March 2019 at band E and is valid until March 2029. 2 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 233a. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
233a 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.
