About 24 Villiers Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 38.2% below the postcode norm. At 76 m² it's 28.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 67 EPCs).

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 24 Villiers Close is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 9FR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 24 Villiers Close. 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 24 Villiers Close was lodged in September 2012 at band C and expired in September 2022, 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. None is matched to 24 Villiers Close. 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 9FR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24 Villiers Close is in council tax band D. 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.
