About 122 Newlife Apartments

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

It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 553 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 18th smallest of 58 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 58 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 122 Newlife Apartments is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 2SS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 122 Newlife Apartments. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 122 Newlife Apartments was lodged in October 2011 at band C and expired in October 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 122 Newlife Apartments. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN1 2SS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
122 Newlife Apartments is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
