25 Cloister Garth, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE7 7LW

25 Cloister Garth is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE7 7LW). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. At 89 m² this is the 19th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 11–140 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 is 22.6% above the 2022 sale price. Most recent transfer: February 2022 at £159,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
