Overview

About Flat 1

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR2 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 30 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (30–49 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 17.4% below the 2015 sale of £385,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,192/sq ft) was about 476.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in January 2015.
