About Montague Apartments
Montague Apartments is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 2AS). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. At 128 m² this is the 10th smallest of 14 units on EPC record in Montague Apartments, where floor areas span 50–212 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 14 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in May 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 is 15.9% above the 2016 sale price.
