About 8 Almoners Barn
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Almoners Barn is a five-bedroom detached house in Durham (DH1 3TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 361 m² (around 3887 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 361 m² the property is well over the postcode median (183 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 14 planning records sit against the property, 12 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,259,000 is 25.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 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 8 Almoners Barn is modelled from its 361 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 3TZ.

- 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 8 Almoners Barn. 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 8 Almoners Barn was lodged in March 2012 at band C and expired in March 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
