About 18 Bland Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Bland Road is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR5 8SA). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
Across 2007–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 30.8% below the 2022 sale of £425,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 102.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold September 2022 for £425,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 18 Bland Road is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR5 8SA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 18 Bland Road. 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 18 Bland Road was lodged in December 2018 at band D and is valid until December 2028. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Bland Road. 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 20 schools and 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR5 8SA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
