About 10 Chartwell Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Chartwell Drive is a detached house in Luton (LU2 7JD). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in September 1998. 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 £607,000 sits 279.4% above the 1998 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 51.3% below the postcode norm.

- The estimate for 10 Chartwell Drive is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7JD. 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 10 Chartwell Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
