Overview

About 1a

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

1a is an end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN2 6BY). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 34 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (34–112 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 11% below the 2014 sale of £145,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£396/sq ft) was about 246.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 42 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
