About 12 Bourne Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Bourne Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 1GT). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 58 m² this is the 6th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good.
It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 sits 188.9% above the 2001 sale of £36,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 42.3% below the postcode norm. At 58 m² it's 18.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 9 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 12 Bourne Court is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 1GT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Bourne Court. 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 12 Bourne Court was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. 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 12 Bourne Court. 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 1GT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Bourne Court 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.
