Overview

About 18 Malzeard Court

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

18 Malzeard Court is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 429 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–56 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (35 versus a best of 60).

At 40 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 80% above the 2016 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 18 Malzeard Court is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1BN. 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 18 Malzeard Court. 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 18 Malzeard Court was lodged in July 2009 at band F and expired in July 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. None is matched to 18 Malzeard Court. 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 1BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Malzeard Court 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.
