About Tunstall Garth
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Tunstall Garth is a five-bedroom detached house in Hartlepool (TS26 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 308 m² (around 3315 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average.
It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 308 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £595,000 sits 230.6% above the 1995 sale of £180,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Tunstall Garth is modelled from its 308 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TS26 0BH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Tunstall Garth. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Tunstall Garth was lodged in August 2025 at band C and is valid until August 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Tunstall Garth. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TS26 0BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Tunstall Garth is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
