5 School Lane, Yardley Gobion, Towcester, NN12 7UL

5 School Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Yardley Gobion, Towcester, Towcester (NN12 7UL). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 341% above the 1999 sale of £78,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 65.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 91 m² it's 24.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
