23 Cotherstone Drive, Middlesbrough, TS5 8JJ

23 Cotherstone Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Middlesbrough (TS5 8JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 39.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 45.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
