Overview

About High Meadows

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

High Meadows is a five-bedroom detached house in High Shincliffe, Durham, Durham (DH1 2PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £446,000 is 46.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for High Meadows is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 2PQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for High Meadows. 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 High Meadows was lodged in July 2009 at band E and expired in July 2019, 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 High Meadows. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 2PQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
High Meadows is in council tax band F. 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.
