Overview

About 12 Lowes Yard

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

12 Lowes Yard is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR3 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 55 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (46–55 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last changed hands 9 years ago, in February 2017. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 17.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 81.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12 Lowes Yard is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 1AW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 12 Lowes Yard. 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 12 Lowes Yard was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 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. 1 application is matched to 12 Lowes Yard. 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 38 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR3 1AW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Lowes Yard is in council tax band B. 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.
