8 Edward Avenue, Newcastle, ST5 2HB

8 Edward Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newcastle (ST5 2HB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1160 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since May 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. At 108 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (136 m² median across 5 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 52.4% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
