Overview

About 5 George Street

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

5 George Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 5DW). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2022) 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 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 40.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
