18 Friars Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Lincoln (LN2 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. At 63 m² this is the 11th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–130 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 23 units on file.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 69.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2007.
