About 5 Briar Road
5 Briar Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1NH). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.
Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 94 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 17 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 27.1% above the 2007 sale price.
