61a is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Lincoln (LN2 1LR). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since May 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 sits 284.8% above the 1996 sale of £52,499. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 62.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
