Overview

About 15 The Open

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

15 The Open is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4DB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 44 m² this is the 7th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (October 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 The Open is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NE1 4DB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 15 The Open. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 15 The Open was lodged in October 2024 at band E and is valid until October 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15 The Open. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE1 4DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 The Open is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
