About 60 King Charles Tower
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
60 King Charles Tower is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 1XX). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 52 m² this is the 31st smallest of 90 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 is 12.4% below the 2007 sale of £250,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£447/sq ft) was about 420.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar 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 60 King Charles Tower is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NE2 1XX. 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 60 King Charles Tower. 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 60 King Charles Tower was lodged in November 2025 at band C and is valid until November 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 60 King Charles Tower. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NE2 1XX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 60 King Charles Tower 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.
