Overview

About 120a

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

120a is a two-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR1 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2017); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in June 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 232.5% above the 1999 sale of £84,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 120a is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 1RT. 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 120a. 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 120a was lodged in October 2023 at band E and is valid until October 2033. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 120a. 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 30 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 1RT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
120a is in council tax band D. 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.
