About 5 Grenville Way
5 Grenville Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 799 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since October 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 £351,000 sits 95% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
