About 44 Waller Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
44 Waller Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Luton (LU4 9RR). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump.

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 44 Waller Avenue is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 9RR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 44 Waller Avenue. 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 44 Waller Avenue was lodged in July 2014 at band F and expired in July 2024, 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. 2 applications are matched to 44 Waller Avenue. 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 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU4 9RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 44 Waller Avenue 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.
