Overview

About 51a

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

51a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR1 3RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. At 45 m² this is the 5th smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to A across 42 units on file.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (74 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 21.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 69.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
