About 8 Limecrag Avenue
8 Limecrag Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 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 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 34.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 24.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 50.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
