How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0DL. 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.

About Flat 3
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 3 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 30.1% above the 2014 sale price.

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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0DL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, 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. None is matched to Flat 3. 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 0DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 3 is in council tax band B. 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.
