2 Belgravia Gardens, Middlesbrough, TS5 6NZ

2 Belgravia Gardens is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Middlesbrough (TS5 6NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 63 m² this is the 4th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 20% below the 2007 sale of £149,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
