About 28 Friars Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
28 Friars Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Lincoln (LN2 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 93 m² this is the 21st 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, with this unit at the bottom.
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. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 17.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2007.
