How the estimate is made
The estimate for 34a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 1ES. 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 34a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR3 1ES). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the 7th smallest of 41 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–177 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to A across 41 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in August 2008. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (133 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 34a is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 1ES. 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 34a. 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 34a was lodged in May 2019 at band D and is valid until May 2029. 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 34a. 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 1ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 34a is in council tax band A. 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.
