How the estimate is made

The estimate for 51 Lime Square is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NE1 2BN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Overview

About 51 Lime Square

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

51 Lime Square is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 39 m² this is the 9th smallest of 60 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–121 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 60 units on file.

At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (56 m² across 59 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 25.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £87,000 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 51 Lime Square is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NE1 2BN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 51 Lime Square. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 51 Lime Square was lodged in April 2021 at band C and is valid until April 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 51 Lime Square. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE1 2BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
51 Lime Square is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
