41 Durham Avenue, Washington, NE37 1AQ

41 Durham Avenue is a semi-detached house in Washington (NE37 1AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 48 m² this is the 10th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 25 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 13.8% below the 2022 sale of £130,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 147.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Sold November 2022 for £130,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
