About Bailgate Court

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

Bailgate Court is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lincoln (LN1 3BS). It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 181 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in Bailgate Court, where floor areas span 130–291 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Today's modelled estimate of £682,000 is 20.7% below the 2020 sale of £860,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£441/sq ft) was about 91.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £860,000 in March 2020.
