About 2 High Town Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 High Town Road is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 is 51.3% below the 2020 sale of £450,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£633/sq ft) was about 115% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 66 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 11 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Sold February 2020 for £450,000.

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 2 High Town Road is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0DD. 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 2 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 2 High Town Road was lodged in November 2016 at band D and expired in November 2026, 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. 11 applications are matched to 2 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 0DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
