About 18 School Lane
18 School Lane is a detached house in Eaton, Congleton, Congleton (CW12 2NG). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1793 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 is 39% above the 2009 sale price.
