About 16 Birkdale
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Birkdale is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Whitley Bay (NE25 9LY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since May 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.
