How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Bushmead Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7EU. 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 7 Bushmead Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Bushmead Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7EU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 52.9% above the 2015 sale of £269,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in July 2015.

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 7 Bushmead Road is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7EU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 Bushmead 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 7 Bushmead Road was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 7 Bushmead 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 7EU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Bushmead Road is in council tax band D. 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.
