Overview

About 215 Yarm Road

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

215 Yarm Road is a semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
