How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 3AZ. 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.

About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 67 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–96 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 67 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 39.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: December 2021 at £118,000. 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 2a is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 3AZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 2021, 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 2a. 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 28 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 3AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2a 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.
