How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Ethel Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 4DB. 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 2 Ethel Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Ethel Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 4DB). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 91 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£303/sq ft) was about 69% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £297,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 2 Ethel Road is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 4DB. 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 2 Ethel 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 2 Ethel Road was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 2 Ethel 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 31 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 4DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Ethel Road is in council tax band C. 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.
