About The Bar

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

The Bar is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4BA). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. At 59 m² this is the 16th smallest of 74 units on EPC record in The Bar, where floor areas span 44–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 74 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 is 19.3% below the 2006 sale of £162,240, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. It hasn't traded since May 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
