About 4 Aberdeen Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Aberdeen Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL1 3QY). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 833 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 77 m² it's 25.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 28 EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 28.7% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.

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 4 Aberdeen Road is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 3QY. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 4 Aberdeen Road. 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 4 Aberdeen Road was lodged in May 2009 at band D and expired in May 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Aberdeen Road. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 3QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Aberdeen Road is in council tax band B. 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.
