Overview

About 73 Marwell Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

73 Marwell Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Washington (NE37 3LH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Most recent transfer: September 2022 at £175,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 33.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
