Overview

About 53 Grove Road

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

53 Grove Road is an end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR1 3RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor.

At 44 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to A across 43 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 is 51.4% below the 2024 sale of £280,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

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 53 Grove Road is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 3RQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 53 Grove 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 53 Grove Road was lodged in May 2023 at band D and is valid until May 2033. 4 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 53 Grove 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 33 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 3RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
53 Grove Road is in council tax band A. 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.
