About 48 Park Avenue
48 Park Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).
