About 21 Bellerby Rise
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
21 Bellerby Rise is a four-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU4 9DU). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 sits 71.3% above the 2010 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 23.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 21 Bellerby Rise is modelled from its 151 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 9DU. 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 21 Bellerby Rise. 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 21 Bellerby Rise was lodged in October 2013 at band C and expired in October 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 21 Bellerby Rise. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 9DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 21 Bellerby Rise is in council tax band E. 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.
