29a, Chapel Lane, North Hykeham, Lincoln, LN6 9QZ

29a is a five-bedroom detached house in North Hykeham, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN6 9QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 51.8% above the 2008 sale of £255,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 15.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 137 m² it's 17.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
