About 55 Bamburgh Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55 Bamburgh Road is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Durham (DH1 5NW). It has a recorded floor area of 20 m² (around 215 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 20 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (20–180 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
At 20 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 55 Bamburgh Road is modelled from its 20 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 5NW. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 55 Bamburgh Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 55 Bamburgh Road. 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.

- 55 Bamburgh Road is in council tax band A. 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.
