How the estimate is made
The estimate for 71 Seabrook is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 5 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 71 Seabrook
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
71 Seabrook is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 sits 142.3% above the 2013 sale of £153,935. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 71 Seabrook is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 5 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. 5 sales are recorded for 71 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 71 Seabrook was lodged in June 2021 at band C and is valid until June 2031. 2 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 71 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
- 71 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.
