Overview

About 6 Blackberry Apartments

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

6 Blackberry Apartments is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hartlepool (TS26 0ZE). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 5th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band.

Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 is 12.2% below the 2009 sale of £112,750, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 41.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 6 Blackberry Apartments is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TS26 0ZE. 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 6 Blackberry Apartments. 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 6 Blackberry Apartments was lodged in October 2021 at band C and is valid until October 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 Blackberry Apartments. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TS26 0ZE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Blackberry Apartments is in council tax band B. 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.
