How the estimate is made
The estimate for 48 Seabrook is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 0EJ. 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.

About 48 Seabrook
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
48 Seabrook is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) 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 October 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 84% above the 2012 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 20.8% below the postcode norm. On the market in November 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.

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 48 Seabrook is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 0EJ. 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 48 Seabrook. 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 48 Seabrook was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, 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. None is matched to 48 Seabrook. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 0EJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 48 Seabrook 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.
