Overview

About 1 Boston Close

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

1 Boston Close is a semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 2RF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 sits 92% above the 2016 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 49.3% below the postcode norm. At 74 m² it's 29.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
