Overview

About 53 Lime Square

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

53 Lime Square is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. At 67 m² this is the 45th 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, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 67 m² it's 28.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (52 m² median across 59 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Last sold in June 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
