How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Cotman Road is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 4AF.

About 8 Cotman Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Cotman Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR1 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 53.6% above the 2007 sale of £330,000.

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 8 Cotman Road is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 4AF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 Cotman 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 8 Cotman Road was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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. None is matched to 8 Cotman 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 30 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 4AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Cotman 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.
