Overview

About Flat 6

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

Flat 6 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0DN). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. At 39 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–44 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 6 units on file.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in March 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 sits 366.7% above the 2000 sale of £29,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 46.6% below the postcode norm. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Flat 6 is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 6. 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 6 was lodged in October 2018 at band D and is valid until October 2028. 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 6. 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 6 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.
