About The Turnbull
The Turnbull is a two-bedroom detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 1NA). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 860 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 55 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
