About 59 Lime Square
59 Lime Square is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 38 m² this is the 5th 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. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since March 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area.
