Chapel House, Mill Road, Banham, Norwich, NR16 2HU

Chapel House is a detached house in Banham, Norwich, Norwich (NR16 2HU). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £468,000 sits 420% above the 1995 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 71.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2022. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
