About 325 High Town Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
325 High Town Road is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 16 m² (around 172 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 16 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 13–95 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 15.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£755/sq ft) was about 85% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 325 High Town Road is modelled from its 16 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0DB. 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 325 High Town Road. 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 325 High Town Road was lodged in March 2023 at band C and is valid until March 2033. 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 325 High Town Road. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 325 High Town Road 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.
