Overview

About The Old School House

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

The Old School House is a three-bedroom detached house in Hopton, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR31 9AH). It has a recorded floor area of 229 m² (around 2465 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 229 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 sits 58.7% above the 2021 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 29.2% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £300,000 in February 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.

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 The Old School House is modelled from its 229 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR31 9AH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Old School House. 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 The Old School House was lodged in July 2026 at band D and is valid until July 2036. 3 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 The Old School House. 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 3 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR31 9AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Old School House is in council tax band F. 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.
