Overview

About 17 Howard Lane

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

17 Howard Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Boughton, Northampton, Northampton (NN2 8RS). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1380 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since May 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £417,000 sits 63.5% above the 2011 sale of £255,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 22.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 128 m² it's 19.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (160 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Howard Lane is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN2 8RS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Howard Lane. 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 17 Howard Lane was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Howard Lane. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN2 8RS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Howard Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
