How the estimate is made
The estimate for 74 Lakenham Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR4 6BB. 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.

About 74 Lakenham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
74 Lakenham Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR4 6BB). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 933 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 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 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 sits 62.6% above the 2007 sale of £152,500.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 74 Lakenham Road is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR4 6BB. 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 74 Lakenham Road. 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 74 Lakenham Road was lodged in November 2011 at band D and expired in November 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 74 Lakenham Road. 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 22 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR4 6BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 74 Lakenham Road 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.
