Overview

About 28 Alcombe Road

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

28 Alcombe Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 3LF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 36.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 15.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
