About 1 Church Park
1 Church Park is a two-bedroom detached house in Wheatley Hill, Durham, Durham (DH6 3SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a corner plot.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 is 39.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 53.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
