Buying a new build in Luton: what we check
- Estate charges: new estates on the edge of Luton and in Central Bedfordshire often have a management company and a yearly charge. We check the amount and how it can rise.
- Which council: sites on the edge of Luton may be in Central Bedfordshire. We confirm the council before ordering searches.
- Flight paths: we check the environmental and planning searches for airport noise and expansion plans.
How we worked this out
We list developments of 10 or more homes found in council planning decisions, developer and housing association announcements and local news, checked every Monday. Sales figures come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data and are updated monthly; new builds take longer to be registered, so the latest full year shown is the year before last. Premiums compare the median new-build sale with the median resale of the same property type in the same year and are not adjusted for size or location.
