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.
