About 5 Compton House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Compton House is a detached house in Northampton (NN1 2RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 692 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
