About 1 Kings Road
1 Kings Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 469.7% above the 1997 sale of £76,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 76.1% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
