Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU3 1NU). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2004 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 162% above the 2004 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 29.1% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 2a is modelled from its 145 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1NU. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in July 2016 at band C and expired in July 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. 3 applications are matched to 2a. 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 1NU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2a is in council tax band D. 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.
