10 Kingston Court, Whitley Bay, NE26 1JP

10 Kingston Court is a three-bedroom detached house in Whitley Bay (NE26 1JP). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1512 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 60% above the 2008 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
