About 387 Yarm Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
387 Yarm Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–1997, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 405.7% above the 1997 sale of £26,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 67% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 387 Yarm Road is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 1BE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 387 Yarm Road. 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 387 Yarm Road was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 387 Yarm Road. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 1BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 387 Yarm Road is in council tax band B. 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.
