About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0DN). It has a recorded floor area of 13 m² (around 140 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 13 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (13–19 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good.
Across 2006–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 46.8% below the 2025 sale of £380,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,716/sq ft) was about 2108.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer was July 2025 at £380,000 — fresh data. At 13 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 35 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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 13 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0DN. 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 2. 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 2 was lodged in November 2022 at band C and is valid until November 2032. 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 Flat 2. 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 0DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 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.
