17 Brafferton Street is a mid-terrace house in Hartlepool (TS26 8LH). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A.

The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, 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. At 73 m² it's 25.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 26 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 43.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 78.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
