5 Ganton Close, Washington, NE37 2LW

5 Ganton Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Washington (NE37 2LW). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 140.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 12 years since the last transfer (August 2014).
