Overview

About 3 Byron Road

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

3 Byron Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 1JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 sits 194.9% above the 2013 sale of £39,000. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in May 2013. At 57 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 9 EPCs).
