26 Riseholme Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Riseholme, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2LD). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £346,000 sits 138.6% above the 2009 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 55.1% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
