About 3 Clive Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Clive Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 7YD). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 45 m² this is the 4th smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom.
At 45 m² it's 19.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 14 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 51.1% above the 2014 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 34.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in March 2014.

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 3 Clive Court is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7YD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Clive Court. 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 3 Clive Court was lodged in June 2013 at band F and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Clive Court. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 7YD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Clive Court is in council tax band A. 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.
