Overview

About 7 Bedfordshire Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

7 Bedfordshire Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 2LX). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Last changed hands 8 years ago, in May 2018. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 is 28.8% above the 2018 sale price.
