Overview

About 51 Brighton Road

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

51 Brighton Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 4AR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 112% above the 2022 sale of £50,000. Last sale on file: £50,000 in December 2022. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
