About 2 Brett Cottages
2 Brett Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Hopton, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR31 9AT). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 150 m² it's 17.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (182 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 66.7% above the 2008 sale of £210,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2009.
