2b, Lakenham Road, Norwich, NR4 6BA

2b is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR4 6BA). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 88% above the 2009 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 26.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
