Overview

About 21 Napier Road

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

21 Napier Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swalwell, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE16 3BT). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 64 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -32% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 67.6% above the 2009 sale of £68,000.
