How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Farrs Lane is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 9PY. 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.

About 3 Farrs Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Farrs Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in East Hyde, Luton, Luton (LU2 9PY). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 sits 85.6% above the 2012 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£213/sq ft) was about 45.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 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 3 Farrs Lane is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 9PY. 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 3 Farrs Lane. 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 3 Farrs Lane was lodged in June 2018 at band D and is valid until June 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Farrs Lane. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU2 9PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Farrs Lane is in council tax band F. 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.
