About 5 Cecil Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Cecil Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 2QL). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £782,000 is 18% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 57.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £662,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Cecil Road is modelled from its 175 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 2QL. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 5 Cecil 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 5 Cecil Road was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Cecil 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 27 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 2QL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Cecil Road is in council tax band E. 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.
