About 1 Merevale Close
1 Merevale Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Washington (NE37 3LP). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 51.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
