This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the sale being a buy-to-let purchase, a repossession or a transfer to a limited company. When Land Registry suspects that a sale does not reflect full market value (e.g. part-ownership or right to buy), these transactions can be flagged as well. For this reason, we exclude them from our area statistics.

- Valuation
- The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £473,150. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Luton are now selling for between £2,840 and £3,840 per square metre (£263 and £356 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 129 m², this implies a valuation between £366,000 and £495,000. Treat this as context only.
