Overview

About 1 Bishops Drive

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

1 Bishops Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kettering (NN15 6AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 813 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 117.2% above the 2011 sale of £93,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. At 76 m² it's 15.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 20 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2024.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Bishops Drive is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN15 6AJ. 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 1 Bishops Drive. 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 1 Bishops Drive was lodged in October 2010 at band E and expired in October 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Bishops Drive. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN15 6AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bishops Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
