26 Corporation Road, Hartlepool, TS24 0ES

26 Corporation Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Hartlepool (TS24 0ES). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 523 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 49 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–52 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 sits 180.6% above the 2009 sale of £36,000.
