About 12 Benson Street
12 Benson Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Middlesbrough (TS5 6JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1369 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).

Held since November 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.
