About Bracken House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Bracken House is a three-bedroom detached house in Hartlepool (TS26 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1726 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2010) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 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. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 165.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Bracken House is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TS26 0DL. 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 Bracken House. 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 Bracken House was lodged in November 2010 at band B and expired in November 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Bracken House. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TS26 0DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bracken House is in council tax band E. 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.
