Overview

About 27 Broad Oak Court

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

27 Broad Oak Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 8JE). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 7th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 24 units on file. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 27 Broad Oak Court is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 8JE. 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 27 Broad Oak 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 27 Broad Oak Court was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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. None is matched to 27 Broad Oak 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 8JE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
27 Broad Oak Court is in council tax band B. 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.
