About 23 Blandford Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Blandford Square is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 4HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 116 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (50–116 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (33 versus a best of 75). The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 10 years since the last transfer (March 2016).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 23 Blandford Square is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NE1 4HZ. 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 23 Blandford Square. 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 23 Blandford Square was lodged in June 2015 at band F and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Blandford Square. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE1 4HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Blandford Square is in council tax band A. 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.
