The estimate for 17 The Open is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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.

17 The Open is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4DB). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2018) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 51 m² this is the 16th 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 top.
Held since June 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 123.1% above the 2000 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 43.1% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
For a compact home of this size, this rating sits in the top tier locally.
