15 Marine Gardens, Whitley Bay, NE26 1EG

15 Marine Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whitley Bay (NE26 1EG). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in November 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 84.4% above the 2016 sale of £225,000. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2016.
