How the estimate is made
The estimate for 12a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR5 0NA. 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 12a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in New Costessey, Norwich, Norwich (NR5 0NA). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 470 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 63.2% above the 2011 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£330/sq ft) was about 121.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 12a is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR5 0NA. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 12a. 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 12a was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, 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 12a. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR5 0NA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12a is in council tax band C. 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.
