About 79a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
79a is a mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR2 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 133 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (30–133 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 15 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 31.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 is 17.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£349/sq ft) was about 55.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 79a is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 1AB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 79a. 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 79a was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 2022, 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. 2 applications are matched to 79a. 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 38 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR2 1AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
