How the estimate is made

About 3 Albert Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Albert Road is a semi-detached house in Wellingborough (NN8 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–131 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 35 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
Across 2001–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 78.5% below the 2024 sale of £520,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,271/sq ft) was about 1058.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2007. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold July 2024 for £520,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Albert Road is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN8 1EL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Albert Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Albert Road was lodged in July 2021 at band E and is valid until July 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Albert Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN8 1EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Albert Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
