How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5a is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7XB. 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 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7XB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in May 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. At 73 m² it's 17% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 59 EPCs).

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 5a is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7XB. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in November 2013 at band C and expired in November 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 5a. 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 7XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5a is in council tax band C. 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.
