13 Poplar Place is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE3 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–103 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 68). The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 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. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
