About The Bar

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

The Bar is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 108 m² this is the 63rd smallest of 64 units on EPC record in The Bar, where floor areas span 42–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 64 units on file. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 63 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -22.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 18.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 58.7% below the postcode norm.
