About 5 Berwick House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Berwick House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN2 8LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 21% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 30.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 5 Berwick House is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN2 8LQ. 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 5 Berwick House. 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 5 Berwick House was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 5 Berwick House. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN2 8LQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Berwick House 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.
