About 8 Canterbury Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Canterbury Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL1 2SD). It has a recorded floor area of 10 m² (around 108 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 10 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 33.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,208/sq ft) was about 561% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold February 2021 for £130,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 8 Canterbury Grove is modelled from its 10 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 2SD. 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 8 Canterbury Grove. 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 8 Canterbury Grove was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 8 Canterbury Grove. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 2SD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Canterbury Grove is in council tax band C. 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.
