Overview

About 1 Colonial Drive

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

1 Colonial Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Northampton (NN4 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £699,000 sits 52% above the 2007 sale of £460,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Colonial Drive is modelled from its 216 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN4 0BL. 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 1 Colonial Drive. 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 1 Colonial Drive was lodged in June 2013 at band C and expired in June 2023, 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 1 Colonial Drive. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN4 0BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Colonial Drive is in council tax band G. 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.
