15 Scholars Court, Northampton, NN1 1DQ

15 Scholars Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 138.8% above the 1998 sale of £115,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
