About 3 Don Gardens
3 Don Gardens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Washington (NE37 2RE). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 34.3% above the 2007 sale price.
