That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like NR30, NR31 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit below the UK average. Lower contractor overheads and shorter distances across Norfolk do most of the work.
