Overview

About 118c

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

118c is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2021 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor.

Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 25.4% below the 2021 sale of £315,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£610/sq ft) was about 152.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 29 EPCs). Sold October 2021 for £315,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
