Overview

About 4 Caroline Street

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

4 Caroline Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Alford (LN13 9BW). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 50.6% above the 2007 sale of £77,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 59.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 24.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 19 EPCs).
