40 Church Lane is a semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1036 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 sits 73.3% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 37.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 15 EPCs).
