About Flat 5
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 5 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Finedon, Wellingborough, Wellingborough (NN9 5LU). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 56 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (56–178 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 5 units on file. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2011. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 12.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 21% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Flat 5 is modelled from its 56 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NN9 5LU. 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. 6 sales are recorded for Flat 5. 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 Flat 5 was lodged in September 2023 at band E and is valid until September 2033. 3 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 Flat 5. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN9 5LU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 5 is in council tax band B. 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.
