About 4 Arnold Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Arnold Close is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 9AW). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1488 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (October 2015). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 is 41% above the 2015 sale price.

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 4 Arnold Close is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 9AW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Arnold 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 4 Arnold Close was lodged in October 2009 at band E and expired in October 2019, 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 4 Arnold 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 9AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Arnold Close 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.
