About 18 Sandy Lane
18 Sandy Lane is a semi-detached house in Lowton, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 7 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. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 sits 362.2% above the 2003 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
