4 Northgate is a detached house in Lincoln (LN2 1QS). It has a recorded floor area of 232 m² (around 2497 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £683,000 sits 340.6% above the 1996 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£62/sq ft) was about 61.2% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
