How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26b is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN14 6BQ. 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.

About 26b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
26b is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rothwell, Kettering, Kettering (NN14 6BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 74 m² this is the 8th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–235 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since May 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 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 201% above the 1999 sale of £48,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 26b is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN14 6BQ. 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 26b. 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 26b was lodged in December 2020 at band D and is valid until December 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26b. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN14 6BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 26b is in council tax band A. 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.
