About 10 Chandos Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Chandos Road is a semi-detached house in Luton (LU4 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–1996, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 863.6% above the 1996 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£23/sq ft) was about 80.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002.

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 10 Chandos Road is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 8EX. 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 10 Chandos 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 10 Chandos Road was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 10 Chandos 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 8EX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Chandos 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.
