Avalon is a detached house in Scothern, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2UP). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
