Overview

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. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 25 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.
