47 Murray Street is a mid-terrace house in Hartlepool (TS26 8PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. At 144 m² this is the 6th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–151 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 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 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 sits 328.6% above the 1997 sale of £35,000.
