Overview

About 12 Lawson Terrace

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

12 Lawson Terrace is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Durham (DH1 4EW). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 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. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 is 37.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 23.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
