About 12 Skinner Avenue
12 Skinner Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Upton, Northampton, Northampton (NN5 4AG). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 63.6% above the 2015 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 76.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in July 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
