About Abbot Memorial Building
Abbot Memorial Building is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 3BG). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 61 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Abbot Memorial Building (61–223 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D 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. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 35 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 is 13.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 18.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
