About 10 Malzeard Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Malzeard Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 is 34.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 52.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2016.

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 10 Malzeard Road is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1BD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 Malzeard 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 10 Malzeard Road was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 10 Malzeard Road 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.
