Overview

About 20 Bek Road

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

20 Bek Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 5LD). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in December 2000. Across 1997–2000, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 224.8% above the 2000 sale of £44,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 57.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
