Overview

About 20 Cotton Court

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

20 Cotton Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN4 8EL). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. At 54 m² this is the 9th 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 top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. 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 (£272/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
