7 Church Lane, Bozeat, Wellingborough, NN29 7LJ

7 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Bozeat, Wellingborough, Wellingborough (NN29 7LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1852 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 130.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 sits 76.2% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 38.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
