How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Valley Road is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR5 0BH. 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 16 Valley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Valley Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR5 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 28.9% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£330/sq ft) was about 118.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
