How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20a is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JJ. 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 20a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20a is a mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR2 3JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 28 m² this is the 6th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 7–194 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20a is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JJ. 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 20a. 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 20a was lodged in December 2019 at band C and is valid until December 2029. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20a. 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 32 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR2 3JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20a 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.
