About 4 Arthur Cook Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Arthur Cook Avenue is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Whickham, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE16 4RW). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 sits 211.1% above the 2001 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 66.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 85 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 20 EPCs).

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 4 Arthur Cook Avenue is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NE16 4RW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Arthur Cook Avenue. 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 4 Arthur Cook Avenue was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Arthur Cook Avenue. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE16 4RW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Arthur Cook Avenue 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.
