About 22 Mallard Road
22 Mallard Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £62,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 17.3% below the postcode norm.
