About 6 Cobden Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Cobden Court is a mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 4JL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 63 m² this is the 8th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 55–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 11 units on file.
Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 86% above the 2014 sale of £57,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2002. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
