About The Bar
The Bar is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 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 89 m² this is the 58th 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 (July 2019) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity.
Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 is 26.1% below the 2005 sale of £209,670, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since November 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 63 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
