How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Common Lane is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR7 0RB.

About 1 Common Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Common Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR7 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 is 33.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£283/sq ft) was about 47% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 70 m² it's 27.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 3 EPCs).

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 1 Common Lane is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR7 0RB. 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 1 Common Lane. 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 1 Common Lane was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 1 Common Lane. 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 9 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR7 0RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Common Lane is in council tax band A. 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.
