How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1 Birkbeck Road is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 2JZ. 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.

Overview

About 1 Birkbeck Road

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

1 Birkbeck Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 2JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2020. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Across 2000–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 74.8% above the 2021 sale of £107,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. Sold January 2021 for £107,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. At 81 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Birkbeck Road is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 2JZ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Birkbeck Road. 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 1 Birkbeck Road was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Birkbeck Road. 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 23 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 2JZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Birkbeck Road is in council tax band B. 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.
