About 17 Cotton Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Cotton Court is an end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN4 8EL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 45 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 81 EPCs).

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 17 Cotton Court is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN4 8EL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Cotton Court. 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 17 Cotton Court was lodged in April 2012 at band C and expired in April 2022, 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 17 Cotton Court. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN4 8EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Cotton Court is in council tax band B. 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.
