About 8a
8a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR2 1EU). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 89 m² this is the 10th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–197 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 13 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £436,000 is 11.9% below the 2024 sale of £495,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£517/sq ft) was about 164.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 89 m² it's 25.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 12 EPCs). Last sale on file: £495,000 in September 2024.
