About 9 Buttermere Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Buttermere Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Kettering (NN16 8LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £258,000 is 39.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 50.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in April 2016.

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 9 Buttermere Close is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN16 8LZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 9 Buttermere Close. 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 9 Buttermere Close was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 9 Buttermere Close. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN16 8LZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Buttermere Close is in council tax band C. 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.
