About 47a

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

47a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR3 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 568 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 53 m² this is the 9th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (24 versus a best of 90).

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in March 2010. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 24.1% below the postcode norm.
