26 Thorpe Lane, South Hykeham, Lincoln, LN6 9NW

26 Thorpe Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in South Hykeham, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN6 9NW). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2164 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 201 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 79.3% above the 2007 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 19.7% below the postcode norm.
