Overview

About 42 Helmsley Road

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

42 Helmsley Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 65 m² this is the 6th 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 top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good.

Held since June 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2021. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1995–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 23.3% above the 2006 sale price.
