How the estimate is made
The estimate for 55a is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3HZ. 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.

About 55a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR2 3HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 40 m² this is the 8th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–200 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 25 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a C (score 73).
Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 10% below the 2011 sale of £289,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£671/sq ft) was about 278.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since February 2011 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 55a is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3HZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 55a. 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 55a was lodged in March 2021 at band C and is valid until March 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 55a. 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 34 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR2 3HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 55a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
