About 48 Lewsey Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
48 Lewsey Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 0EP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2001–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 is 16.4% below the 2025 sale of £385,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Most recent transfer was November 2025 at £385,000 — fresh data.

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 Lewsey Road is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 0EP. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 48 Lewsey 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 48 Lewsey Road was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 48 Lewsey 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 0EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 48 Lewsey Road 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.
