Overview

About 10 Alder Crescent

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

10 Alder Crescent is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1TG). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in January 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £317,000 sits 712.8% above the 1996 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 83.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. 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 10 Alder Crescent is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1TG. 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 10 Alder Crescent. 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 10 Alder Crescent was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 10 Alder Crescent. 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 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1TG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Alder Crescent 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.
