About The Acorns
The Acorns is a detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 4RP). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
