About 18 Allard Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Allard Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Northampton (NN3 5LY). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 88.8% above the 2007 sale of £187,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm.

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 18 Allard Close is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN3 5LY. 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 18 Allard Close. 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 18 Allard Close was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, 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. None is matched to 18 Allard Close. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN3 5LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Allard Close 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.
