About 5 London Road
5 London Road is a semi-detached house in Kettering (NN16 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 298 m² (around 3208 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 is 88.8% below the 2017 sale of £2,990,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
