About 13 Essex Street
13 Essex Street is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR2 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1391 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 129 m² it's 25.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 38 EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 is 49.7% above the 2009 sale price.
