About 4 Brereton Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Brereton Close is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR5 8LX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
Across 2005–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 is 11.2% below the 2021 sale of £260,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 26.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £260,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
