Overview

About 29 Birchfield Road

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

29 Birchfield Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 4RF). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 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 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 226% above the 1999 sale of £96,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 61.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2013. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 29 Birchfield Road is modelled from its 171 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN1 4RF. 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 29 Birchfield Road. 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 29 Birchfield Road was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 29 Birchfield Road. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN1 4RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29 Birchfield Road is in council tax band D. 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.
