About 227 Yarm Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
227 Yarm Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1140 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015.

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 227 Yarm Road is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 1EF. 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 227 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 227 Yarm Road was lodged in February 2010 at band E and expired in February 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 227 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 1EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 227 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.
