About 1 Cowper Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Cowper Terrace is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN2 7JB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 44 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 62.8% above the 2013 sale of £72,500.

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 1 Cowper Terrace is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN2 7JB. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Cowper Terrace. 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 Cowper Terrace was lodged in September 2024 at band E and is valid until September 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Cowper Terrace. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN2 7JB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Cowper Terrace is in council tax band A. 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.
