About 1 Dahlia Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Dahlia Close is a detached house in Luton (LU2 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 69.2% above the 2013 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 94 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 3 EPCs). On the market in June 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 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 1 Dahlia Close is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 9AT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Dahlia Close. 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 Dahlia Close was lodged in December 2012 at band D and expired in December 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Dahlia Close. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 9AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Dahlia Close is in council tax band E. 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.
