Overview

About 158 Hitchin Road

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

158 Hitchin Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU2 0ES). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since August 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 420% above the 2000 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 158 Hitchin Road is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0ES. 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 158 Hitchin 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 158 Hitchin Road was lodged in April 2022 at band D and is valid until April 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 158 Hitchin 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 35 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
158 Hitchin Road 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.
