About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in NORTHAMPTON, NN2 8TH. The property offers 48.2m² (519 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £585, comprising £252 for heating, £285 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2020 for £100,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
