Overview

About 21 The Close

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

21 The Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE31 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 44.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. 12 years since the last transfer (August 2014).
