About 5 Brough Close
5 Brough Close is a detached house in Northampton (NN5 6YD). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 913 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 74.5% above the 2009 sale of £149,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
