How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Old Library Mews is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 1ET. 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.

About 5 Old Library Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Old Library Mews is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR1 1ET). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1321 sq ft) and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
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. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 54.7% above the 2009 sale of £262,500.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 5 Old Library Mews is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 1ET. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Old Library Mews. 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 5 Old Library Mews was lodged in October 2009 at band C and expired in October 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. None is matched to 5 Old Library Mews. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 34 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 1ET, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Old Library Mews 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.
