Overview

About 2 New Cottages

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 New Cottages is a semi-detached house in Billockby, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR29 3BG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in December 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £207,000 sits 491.4% above the 1996 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 82.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
