About 41 Alfred Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
41 Alfred Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN1 5HB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 72 m² this is the 24th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–80 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 (77 versus a worst of 61). The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
