About 40 Helmsley Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40 Helmsley Road is an end-of-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 63 m² this is the 4th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–125 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 74). The latest certificate (December 2025) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 is 97.2% below the 2019 sale of £5,095,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£7,513/sq ft) was about 4610.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Most recent transfer: December 2019 at £5,095,000.

- 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 40 Helmsley Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
