Overview

About 2 The Mount

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

2 The Mount is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 55 m² this is the 6th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to D across 13 units on file.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 32.4% above the 2007 sale price.

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 2 The Mount is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1BU. 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 2 The Mount. 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 2 The Mount was lodged in August 2016 at band E and expired in August 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 2 The Mount. 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 2 The Mount 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.
