Overview

About 21 George Street

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

21 George Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 5DW). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 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. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £101,000 is 48.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 22.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
