8 Ancaster Avenue is a semi-detached house in Lincoln (LN2 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Sale prices here have outpaced Lincoln HPI: 11.5% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 73.8% above the 2004 sale of £172,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
