12b, Belle Grove Terrace, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 4LL
About 12b
12b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 4LL). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 49 m² this is the 11th smallest of 49 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–313 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 48 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 23.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£588/sq ft) was about 230.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
