Overview

About 3 Brookside Drive

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

3 Brookside Drive is a detached house in Dolphinholme, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 9AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1151 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 is 30% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 27.8% below the postcode norm.
