Overview

About The Birches

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

The Birches is a four-bedroom detached house in Norwell, Newark, Newark (NG23 6JU). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2090 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 194 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (154 m² median across 5 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £492,000 is 46.9% above the 2009 sale price.

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 The Birches is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NG23 6JU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for The Birches. 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 The Birches was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to The Birches. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG23 6JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Birches is in council tax band E. 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.
