How the estimate is made

About 10 Fernheath
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Fernheath is a five-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU3 4DG). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £544,000 is 45.3% above the 2007 sale price.

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 10 Fernheath is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 4DG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 10 Fernheath. 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 Fernheath was lodged in September 2012 at band C and expired in September 2022, 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. None is matched to 10 Fernheath. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 4DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Fernheath is in council tax band E. 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.
