About 23 Sycamore Close
23 Sycamore Close is a semi-detached house in Towcester (NN12 6BW). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2000, a hold of 25 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. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 227.7% above the 2000 sale of £83,000.
