About 37a
37a is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 1UH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2016. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 53 m² this is the 21st smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–114 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 26 units on file.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in June 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 53 m² the property is well over the postcode median (38 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 146.7% above the 1996 sale of £75,000.
