Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7AS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1058 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 sits 85% above the 2005 sale of £200,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 98 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (122 m² median across 22 EPCs).

How 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 1a is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7AS. 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 1a. 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 1a was lodged in March 2012 at band D and expired in March 2022, 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. 5 applications are matched to 1a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 7AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
