18 Harrogate Crescent, Middlesbrough, TS5 6PS

18 Harrogate Crescent is a semi-detached house in Middlesbrough (TS5 6PS). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 sits 287.5% above the 1998 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 62.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
