Overview

About 4 Hall Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Hall Close is a detached house in Austwick, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 8BX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

It hasn't traded since February 2001, a hold of 25 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 £385,000 sits 227.7% above the 2001 sale of £117,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 60.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001.
