3 Balmoral Gardens, Whitley Bay, NE26 3LU

3 Balmoral Gardens is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3LU). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £384,000 sits 107.6% above the 2012 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 15.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
