About 4 Bensley Road
4 Bensley Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR2 3JS). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Sold October 2021 for £427,500. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 is 12.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£364/sq ft) was about 308.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
