About 16 Dolphin Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Dolphin Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR5 0UR). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–148 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band.
Held since December 2008 — that's 18 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 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 55 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 41% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 29.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
