Local market context
12b is a semi-detached house in Beccles (NR34 9AS). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 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. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 sits 230.9% above the 1997 sale of £123,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 52.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
