5 Fen Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1LR). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 10), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 36). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 14 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 is 32.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 21.3% below the postcode norm. 9 years since the last transfer (December 2016).
