Overview

About The Braids

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

The Braids is a three-bedroom detached house in Hartlepool (TS26 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£281/sq ft) was about 158.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
