29 Bittern Close, Gateshead, NE11 9FF

29 Bittern Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Gateshead (NE11 9FF). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 57 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 11.8% above the 2007 sale price.
