Overview

About 23 Alford Grove

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Alford Grove is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Norwich (NR7 8XB). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £365,000 in November 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Alford Grove is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NR7 8XB. 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 23 Alford Grove. 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 23 Alford Grove was lodged in January 2016 at band C and expired in January 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 23 Alford Grove. 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 28 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR7 8XB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Alford Grove is in council tax band C. 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.
