4 Back Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Scothern, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2WP). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 38.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 20.1% below the postcode norm.
