Newcastle and Tyneside's Tyneside flat tradition

Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyneside area are home to a distinctive property type found almost nowhere else in the UK: the Tyneside flat — a pair of ground and first floor flats in a purpose-built mid-terrace block, with separate front doors. These are prevalent across Walker, Byker, Heaton, and Fenham and require careful assessment as each floor is assessed separately. Beyond Tyneside flats, the region has large Victorian terraced stock in NE6 and NE4, sandstone villas in Jesmond (NE2) and Gosforth (NE3), and modern estates across Washington (NE37/NE38) and Cramlington (NE23).

How do you assess Tyneside flats — is the EPC for the whole building or just my flat?+

Tyneside flats are assessed individually — each self-contained unit (ground floor or first floor) receives its own EPC.
