Overview

About Thorngate House

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

Thorngate House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lincoln (LN2 1HA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2023) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. At 69 m² this is the 17th 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, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 13.7% below the 2007 sale of £175,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs).
