About 4 Canterbury Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Canterbury Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 2QY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Canterbury Close is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 2QY. 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 4 Canterbury Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records

- 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 2QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Canterbury Close 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.
