About 16 Briar Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Briar Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR5 8PR). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–60 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 22 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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 (55 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 28.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 42% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 16 Briar Court is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR5 8PR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Briar Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
