Overview

About 120b

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

120b is a detached house in Norwich (NR1 1RT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 is 90.7% below the 2022 sale of £3,250,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,745/sq ft) was about 1002.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 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 79% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £3,250,000 in September 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
