About 9 Rennie Walk
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Rennie Walk is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £98,000 sits 54.3% above the 2007 sale of £63,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 72% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 44 m² it's 26.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (60 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).

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 9 Rennie Walk is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 1DU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 9 Rennie Walk. 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 9 Rennie Walk was lodged in February 2015 at band D and expired in February 2025, 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. None is matched to 9 Rennie Walk. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 1DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Rennie Walk is in council tax band A. 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.
