About 5 Clare Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Clare Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 3JG). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (33–58 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2023. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 26 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 58 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 278.1% above the 2001 sale of £36,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 74.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2002. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 5 Clare Street is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 3JG. 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 5 Clare Street. 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 5 Clare Street was lodged in January 2026 at band C and is valid until January 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Clare Street. 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 3JG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Clare Street 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.
