How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 3EP. 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.

About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a two-bedroom property in Northampton (NN1 3EP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 77 m² this is the 38th smallest of 58 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–123 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 58 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 42.2% above the 2007 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 3EP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in November 2025 at band D and is valid until November 2035. 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 2a. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN1 3EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2a 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.
