Overview

About 16 Oval Road

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

16 Oval Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR5 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 581.3% above the 1997 sale of £32,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 78% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs).
