Overview

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).
