About 162a
162a is a one-bedroom property in Whitley Bay (NE26 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 577 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 54 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 50–211 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 16 units on file. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 23.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 38.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
