About 1 Marlborough House
1 Marlborough House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3AH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2012. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £241,000 is 37.7% above the 2009 sale price.
