About 7 Elmfield Avenue
7 Elmfield Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 49.1% above the 2009 sale price.
