About 7 Essex Street
7 Essex Street is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR2 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2000, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 38 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 sits 223.3% above the 2000 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 60.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2017. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
