Overview

About Thorngate House

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

Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since September 2018. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity. At 74 m² this is the 26th smallest of 38 units on EPC record in Thorngate House, where floor areas span 63–137 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 38 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Thorngate House is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LN2 1HA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Thorngate House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Thorngate House was lodged in February 2019 at band D and is valid until February 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Thorngate House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LN2 1HA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Thorngate House is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
