Overview

About 3 Castlebay Court

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

3 Castlebay Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 3RF). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in June 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 sits 220.5% above the 1996 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 64.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 76 m² it's 16% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 12 EPCs).
