Overview

About 51 Castle Road

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

51 Castle Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Wellingborough (NN8 1LL). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 sits 80.5% above the 2004 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 45.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 51 Castle Road is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN8 1LL. 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 51 Castle 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 51 Castle Road was lodged in September 2012 at band E and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 51 Castle 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN8 1LL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
51 Castle Road is in council tax band D. 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.
