About 1 Duke Street
1 Duke Street is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whitley Bay (NE26 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 19.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 34.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
