Overview

About 231 Yarm Road

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

231 Yarm Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.

Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 is 16% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 67.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
