About 8 Alcombe Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Alcombe Terrace is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 3LD). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (41–103 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
Held since January 1996 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 300% above the 1996 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 48.5% below the postcode norm. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 8 Alcombe Terrace is modelled from its 41 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 3LD. 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 8 Alcombe Terrace. 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 8 Alcombe Terrace was lodged in September 2022 at band D and is valid until September 2032. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Alcombe Terrace. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN1 3LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Alcombe Terrace 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.
