Overview

About 1 The Old Police Station

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

1 The Old Police Station is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Hornby, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 8JS). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1913 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 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. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 178 m² it's 28.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (138 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 is 34.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 30.8% below the postcode norm.
