About 225 Biscot Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
225 Biscot Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 70.6% above the 2013 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 27.1% below the postcode norm. At 108 m² it's 24.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On the market in October 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 225 Biscot Road is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1AR. 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 225 Biscot Road. 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 225 Biscot Road was lodged in July 2013 at band E and expired in July 2023, 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 225 Biscot Road. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 225 Biscot Road is in council tax band B. 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.
