Overview

About 14 Brian Road

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

14 Brian Road is a semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 10.3% above the 2005 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 29.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
