Overview

About 1 Aykley Vale

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

1 Aykley Vale is a four-bedroom detached house in Aykley Heads, Durham, Durham (DH1 5WA). It has a recorded floor area of 230 m² (around 2476 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 230 m² the property is well over the postcode median (149 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 228.9% above the 1996 sale of £159,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 47.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
