About 1 Hilda Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Hilda Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 1SY). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2005 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 74.6% above the 2005 sale of £67,000.

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 1 Hilda Street is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 1SY. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Hilda Street. 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 1 Hilda Street was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 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 1 Hilda Street. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 1SY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Hilda Street 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.
