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

4 Dunston Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR4 6DY). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 707 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39). Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Dunston Cottages is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR4 6DY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Dunston 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 4 Dunston Cottages was lodged in March 2012 at band F and expired in March 2022, 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. None is matched to 4 Dunston 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 10 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR4 6DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Dunston Cottages is in council tax band A. 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.
