About 16 Cragside
16 Cragside is a semi-detached house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
