About 17 Marlborough Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Marlborough Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Swalwell, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE16 3ER). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Marlborough Avenue is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NE16 3ER. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Marlborough Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17 Marlborough Avenue was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 17 Marlborough Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE16 3ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Marlborough Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
