Flat 3, 35 Holly Road, Northampton, NN1 4QL

Flat 3 is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN1 4QL). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 66 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 57). The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 65.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
