About 2 Avenue Grimaldi
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Avenue Grimaldi is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 71.1% above the 2014 sale of £180,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in March 2014.

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 2 Avenue Grimaldi is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1TJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Avenue Grimaldi. 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 Avenue Grimaldi was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 2 Avenue Grimaldi. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1TJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Avenue Grimaldi is in council tax band C. 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.
