Overview

About 5 Lime Square

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Lime Square is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 2BA). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 46 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. Across 2007–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm. Sold December 2022 for £290,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
