About 39 Bracklesham Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
39 Bracklesham Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU2 8QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 89.7% above the 2012 sale of £185,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 39 Bracklesham Gardens is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 8QJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 39 Bracklesham Gardens. 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 39 Bracklesham Gardens was lodged in July 2015 at band B and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 39 Bracklesham Gardens. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 8QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 39 Bracklesham Gardens 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.
