Overview

About 1 Ardleigh Green

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

1 Ardleigh Green is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU2 9SS). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–64 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 12 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£428/sq ft) was about 105.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it's 29.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 11 EPCs). Last sale on file: £175,000 in August 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

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 Ardleigh Green is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU2 9SS. 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 Ardleigh Green. 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 Ardleigh Green was lodged in May 2016 at band D and expired in May 2026, 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. None is matched to 1 Ardleigh Green. 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 9SS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Ardleigh Green is in council tax band A. 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.
