About The Crest
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Crest is a three-bedroom detached house in Alby, Norwich, Norwich (NR11 7PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 41), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£454/sq ft) was about 50.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £680,000 in June 2023.

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 The Crest is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR11 7PJ. 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 The Crest. 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 The Crest was lodged in February 2014 at band G and expired in February 2024, 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 The Crest. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR11 7PJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Crest 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.
