17 The Alders is a four-bedroom detached house in Scothern, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2WD). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1792 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 is 28.6% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 56.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
