10 Burns Close, Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AT

10 Burns Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hart, Hartlepool, Hartlepool (TS27 3AT). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in June 2024 the rating was F, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 100). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 59.4% above the 2007 sale of £138,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 31.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
