20 Benton Lodge Avenue, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE7 7LU

20 Benton Lodge Avenue is a semi-detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE7 7LU). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1068 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 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 99 m² it's 16.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 55.2% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
