20 The Alders is a four-bedroom detached house in Scothern, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2WD). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in April 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 246 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £444,000 sits 455% above the 1997 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
