About 4 Holly Avenue
4 Holly Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 302.9% above the 2007 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 69% below the postcode norm. At 158 m² it's 15.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (137 m² median across 20 EPCs).
