Overview

About 9 Birchfield Road

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

9 Birchfield Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 4RF). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since December 1996 — that's 30 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 £286,000 sits 320.6% above the 1996 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 68% below the postcode norm. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
