About 23 Woodland Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Woodland Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN3 2BY). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1532 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 54.6% above the 2009 sale of £271,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 30.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2026. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

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 23 Woodland Avenue is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN3 2BY. 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 23 Woodland Avenue. 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 23 Woodland Avenue was lodged in October 2008 at band F and expired in October 2018, 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 23 Woodland Avenue. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN3 2BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Woodland Avenue 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.
