Overview

About Venton

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

Venton is a five-bedroom detached house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8LS). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,050,000 is 37.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 73.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.

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 Venton is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 8LS. 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 Venton. 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 Venton was lodged in June 2026 at band D and is valid until June 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Venton. 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 3 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 8LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Venton is in council tax band G. 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.
