17 Edward Avenue, Bowburn, Durham, DH6 5EB

17 Edward Avenue is a semi-detached house in Bowburn, Durham, Durham (DH6 5EB). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 80.6% above the 2009 sale of £62,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 29.1% below the postcode norm.
