About 23 Cavendish Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Cavendish Road is a mid-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1JG). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 772.7% above the 1998 sale of £34,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 80.7% below the postcode norm.

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 23 Cavendish Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1JG. 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 23 Cavendish 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 23 Cavendish Road was lodged in August 2016 at band D 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 23 Cavendish 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 1JG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Cavendish 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.
