Overview

About 1 Byers Garth

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

1 Byers Garth is a detached house in Sherburn House, Durham, Durham (DH1 2SN). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2301 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 64.8% above the 2008 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 39.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Byers Garth is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 2SN. 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 1 Byers Garth. 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 1 Byers Garth was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 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 1 Byers Garth. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 2SN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
