How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Water Lane is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 1DD. 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.

About 1 Water Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Water Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR3 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. At 90 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 68–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (64 versus a best of 82). Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Across 1995–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£299/sq ft) was about 53.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £290,000 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Water Lane is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 1DD. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 1 Water Lane. 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 1 Water Lane was lodged in September 2014 at band D and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Water Lane. 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 35 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR3 1DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Water Lane is in council tax band D. 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.
