About 159 Bradley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
159 Bradley Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 sits 103.7% above the 2012 sale of £187,000. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2020. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 111 m² it's 29.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 32 EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in September 2012.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 159 Bradley Road is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 0AR. 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 159 Bradley 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 159 Bradley Road was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 159 Bradley 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 0AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 159 Bradley Road is in council tax band D. 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.
