Get started4 Castle Ridge is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Newcastle (ST5 2TT). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 6th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–169 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (September 2022) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 is 39.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 29.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
