About 24 Back Lane
24 Back Lane is an end-of-terrace house in Congleton (CW12 4PP). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 sits 228.6% above the 1996 sale of £49,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 56.3% below the postcode norm. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
