7 Russell Street, Kettering, NN16 0EL

7 Russell Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kettering (NN16 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 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 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 sits 461.9% above the 1998 sale of £31,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 82.1% below the postcode norm.
