About 4 Melrose Avenue
4 Melrose Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN5 5PB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 57.8% above the 2014 sale of £179,995. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
