About Estelle Cottage
Estelle Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Lingwood, Norwich, Norwich (NR13 4BN). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1177 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 109 m² it's 17.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 40.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 85.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
