There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 50 registered 2026 sales put the LU2 0 (Luton) median at £300,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £297,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,970 per square metre over the last five years.

LU2 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LU2 (Luton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £43,000 | £90,685 | 186 |
| 1995 | £41,600 | £90,432 | 182 |
In cash terms the typical LU2 0 home went from £41,600 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 232%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LU2 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+23.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.2% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in LU2 0
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
LU2 0 recorded 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 301 sales a year before the financial crisis and 145 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the LU2 0 market
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LU2 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the LU2 district median, LU2 0 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of LU2 0
For renting purposes LU2 0 sits in Luton. The ONS average private rent there is £1,217 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £904 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,811, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Luton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,217 a month is £14,604 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in LU: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LU area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £480,000 (+28%) | £690,000 (+44%) | £955,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £280,000 | £330,000 (+18%) | £381,000 (+15%) | £458,000 (+20%) | £555,000 (+21%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
