About 17 Whitwell Acres

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Whitwell Acres is a three-bedroom detached house in High Shincliffe, Durham, Durham (DH1 2PX). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1178 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 20% above the 2012 sale price.
