Overview

About 205 Sharpenhoe Road

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

205 Sharpenhoe Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Streatley, Luton, Luton (LU3 3PR). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

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 205 Sharpenhoe Road is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 3PR. 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 205 Sharpenhoe 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 205 Sharpenhoe Road was lodged in August 2017 at band E and is valid until August 2027. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 205 Sharpenhoe 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 3PR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
205 Sharpenhoe Road is in council tax band F. 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.
