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 £564,000 sits 252.6% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Aykley Vale is modelled from its 230 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DH1 5WA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Aykley Vale. 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 1 Aykley Vale was lodged in August 2013 at band D and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Aykley Vale. 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. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DH1 5WA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Aykley Vale is in council tax band F. 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.
