About 1 Bank Close
1 Bank Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Galgate, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 0NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 sits 78.8% above the 2013 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 32.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
