About 22a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
22a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 5EP). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (40–207 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (11 versus a best of 73). The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a G (score 11), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in August 2004. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 sits 127.7% above the 2004 sale of £47,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 76.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 22a is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 5EP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 22a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 22a was lodged in July 2014 at band G and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 22a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL1 5EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 22a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
