About 177a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
177a is a mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 4BP). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 33 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 177a (33–40 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 10 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£394/sq ft) was about 73.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 33 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (43 m² median across 12 EPCs).

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 177a is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 4BP. 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 177a. 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 177a was lodged in July 2024 at band E and is valid until July 2034. 10 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 177a. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN1 4BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 177a 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.
