About 23 The Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 The Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE31 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 83.2% above the 2009 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 54% below the postcode norm. At 77 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 23 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).

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 23 The Close is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE31 8BS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 23 The Close. 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 The Close was lodged in June 2021 at band E and is valid until June 2031. 2 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 23 The Close. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from PE31 8BS. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 The Close is in council tax band B. 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.
