About 15 Birchwood
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Birchwood is a five-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR7 0RL). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1567 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 15 Birchwood is modelled from its 146 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR7 0RL. 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 15 Birchwood. 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 15 Birchwood was lodged in October 2011 at band D and expired in October 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 15 Birchwood. 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 0 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NR7 0RL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 15 Birchwood is in council tax band E. 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.
