About 3 Albion Close
3 Albion Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Lincoln (LN1 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since June 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. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 sits 133.4% above the 2009 sale of £134,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£107/sq ft) was about 56.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 117 m² it's 15.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 29 EPCs).
