Overview

About 1 Chaffinch Close

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

1 Chaffinch Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Northampton (NN4 0QS). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
