About 37 Rowan Tree Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
37 Rowan Tree Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1DX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 81 m² it's 19.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2014–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 14.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 37 Rowan Tree Avenue is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 1DX. 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 37 Rowan Tree 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 37 Rowan Tree Avenue was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 37 Rowan Tree 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 1DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 37 Rowan Tree 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.
