About 17 Ashcroft Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Ashcroft Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN3 2JR). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2012. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since December 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 39.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 17% 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 17 Ashcroft Gardens is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN3 2JR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 Ashcroft Gardens. 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 Ashcroft Gardens was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, 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 17 Ashcroft Gardens. 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 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN3 2JR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Ashcroft Gardens 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.
