How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Bensley Road is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JS. 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 4 Bensley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £484,000 is 13.2% 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.

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 4 Bensley Road is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JS. 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. 6 sales are recorded for 4 Bensley Road. 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 4 Bensley Road was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 4 Bensley Road. 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 33 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR2 3JS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Bensley Road is in council tax band C. 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.
