Overview

About 20 Friars Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 Friars Lane is a semi-detached house in Lincoln (LN2 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. At 44 m² this is the 7th 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 11.9% below the 2015 sale of £143,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£302/sq ft) was about 175.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 11 years since the last transfer (May 2015). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2007.
