Overview

About 5 Marlborough House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Marlborough House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3AH). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 48.4% above the 2009 sale price.
