About 3 Empress Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Empress Road is a mid-terrace house in Great Yarmouth (NR31 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 756 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 454.5% above the 1997 sale of £22,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 69.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).

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 3 Empress Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR31 0DB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Empress Road. 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 3 Empress Road was lodged in October 2011 at band D and expired in October 2021, 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 3 Empress Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR31 0DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Empress Road 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.
