25 Tidespring Row is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hebburn (NE31 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 600 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 56 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (56–124 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 20 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £97,000 is 23.4% below the 2007 sale of £126,675, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 46.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 19 EPCs).
