How the estimate is made
The estimate for Delven House is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DE74 2LJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Delven House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Delven House is a mid-terrace house in Castle Donington, Derby, Derby (DE74 2LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 26 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in Delven House, where floor areas span 25–53 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since August 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. At 26 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 35.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 47.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Delven House is modelled from its 26 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DE74 2LJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Delven House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Delven House was lodged in November 2018 at band C and is valid until November 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Delven House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DE74 2LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Delven House is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
