About Marconi House
Marconi House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 2JS). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 62 m² this is the 50th smallest of 72 units on EPC record in Marconi House, where floor areas span 25–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 72 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 21.1% below the 2006 sale of £190,200, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. It hasn't traded since May 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 62 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 71 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
