About 15 East Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 East Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8LW). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

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 15 East Street is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 8LW. 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 15 East Street. 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 15 East Street was lodged in October 2023 at band D and is valid until October 2033. 3 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 15 East Street. 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 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 8LW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 East Street is in council tax band D. 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.
