Overview

About Old Chapel

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

Old Chapel is a two-bedroom detached house in Brookhouse, Lancaster, Lancaster (LA2 9PL). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £278,000 is 23.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 190.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
