About 1 Chatsworth Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Chatsworth Road is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU4 8AS). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 sits 64.7% above the 2016 sale of £150,000. At 131 m² it's 27.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 38 EPCs). Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 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 1 Chatsworth Road is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 8AS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Chatsworth 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 1 Chatsworth Road was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 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 1 Chatsworth 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 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 8AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Chatsworth Road is in council tax band B. 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.
