About 389 Yarm Road
389 Yarm Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 738 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 69 m² it's 19.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 is 36.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 21.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
