How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Devon Road is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0RH. 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 17 Devon Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Devon Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 0RH). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 is 28.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£318/sq ft) was about 20.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 17 Devon Road is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 0RH. 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 17 Devon 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 17 Devon Road was lodged in May 2015 at band F and expired in May 2025, 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 17 Devon 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 0RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Devon 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.
