Overview

About 1 Hill Cottages

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

1 Hill Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Belton, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR31 9LY). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 108), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 25.3% above the 2024 sale price.

Method

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 1 Hill Cottages is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR31 9LY. 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 1 Hill Cottages. 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 Hill Cottages was lodged in April 2015 at band F and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 1 Hill Cottages. 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 2 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR31 9LY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Hill Cottages is in council tax band B. 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.
