Overview

About 17 Cowgill Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Cowgill Close is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN3 8PB). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in March 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 325% above the 2001 sale of £64,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 52.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
