About 14 Broadacres
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Broadacres is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 7YF). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 sits 71.5% above the 2010 sale of £316,000. At 137 m² it's 29.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (106 m² median across 31 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 14 Broadacres is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 7YF. 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 14 Broadacres. 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 14 Broadacres was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 14 Broadacres. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 7YF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Broadacres is in council tax band F. 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.
