About 5 Yewbank Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Yewbank Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Durham (DH1 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 124 m² it's 29.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 4 EPCs).

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 5 Yewbank Avenue is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 1DH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Yewbank Avenue. 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 5 Yewbank Avenue was lodged in March 2011 at band D and expired in March 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Yewbank Avenue. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 1DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Yewbank Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
