About 4 River Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 River Drive is a semi-detached house in South Shields (NE33 1TL). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 75 m² this is the 25th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 39 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 267.2% above the 1997 sale of £33,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
