Overview

About 29 Napier Road

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

29 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 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 70 m² this is the 41st smallest of 65 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 28.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £108,000 is 48% above the 2007 sale price.
