Overview

About 1 Silver Lion Cottages

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

1 Silver Lion Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lilley, Luton, Luton (LU2 8NL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record.

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 1 Silver Lion Cottages is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 7 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 8NL. 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. 7 sales are recorded for 1 Silver Lion Cottages. 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 1 Silver Lion Cottages was lodged in May 2026 at band F and is valid until May 2036. 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 1 Silver Lion Cottages. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 8NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Silver Lion Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
