Overview

About 15 Brunel Drive

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

15 Brunel Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Upton, Northampton, Northampton (NN5 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 96 m² it's 19.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 36 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On the market in December 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 30% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 91.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
