Overview

About 13 St James Gardens

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

13 St James Gardens is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Witton Le Wear, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 0BG). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 774 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 79.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2004.
