About 16 Birkbeck Road
16 Birkbeck Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 2JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 125.3% above the 2009 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 15.3% below the postcode norm.
