Local market context
4 School Cottages is a semi-detached house in Filby, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR29 3HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
Held since October 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
