About 8 Common Lane
8 Common Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR7 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
