Overview

About 7 Polegate

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

7 Polegate is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU2 8AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 38.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 47.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
