Overview

About 5 Swan Street

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

5 Swan Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lincoln (LN2 1LF). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 37 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (37–73 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 74). Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 37.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 60.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
