How the estimate is made
The estimate for 39b is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JW. 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 39b

39b is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR2 3JW). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 65.5% above the 2008 sale of £237,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm.

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 39b is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR2 3JW. 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 39b. 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 39b was lodged in February 2022 at band D and is valid until February 2032. 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 39b. 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 3JW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 39b is in council tax band D. 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.
