About 8 Brook Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Brook Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 5th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £167,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 90.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 8 Brook Court is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1DT. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 Brook 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 8 Brook Court was lodged in October 2013 at band C and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Brook 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Brook 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.
