About Flat
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN3 2NS). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). At 68 m² this is the 4th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 65–148 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 25 units on file.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 48.5% 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 Flat is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN3 2NS. 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 Flat. 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 Flat was lodged in September 2020 at band D and is valid until September 2030. 3 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 Flat. 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN3 2NS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
