About Old School House
Old School House is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swaby, Alford, Alford (LN13 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 54% above the 2007 sale of £174,000.
