Overview

About 1 Durham Road West

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

1 Durham Road West is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bowburn, Durham, Durham (DH6 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in June 2012. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 49% above the 2012 sale price.
