Overview

About 5 Dobson Close

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

5 Dobson Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Great Houghton, Northampton, Northampton (NN4 7AX). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) 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. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £395,000 sits 64.6% above the 2006 sale of £240,000. At 85 m² it's 29.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 4 EPCs).
