About Oxford House
Oxford House is a mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE1 5JG). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in Oxford House, where floor areas span 24–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
