About 18 Chalton Heights
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Chalton Heights is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Chalton, Luton, Luton (LU4 9UF). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D.

- The estimate for 18 Chalton Heights is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU4 9UF. 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 18 Chalton Heights. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
