About 12 Faraday Close
12 Faraday Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Upton, Northampton, Northampton (NN5 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 34 m² this is the 5th smallest of 32 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 28–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 32 units on file.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 34 m² it sits well below the postcode median (53 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 20% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 29.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
