About 7 Akenside House
7 Akenside House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 3UF). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 77 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (77–181 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 11 units on file.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
