17 Helmsley Drive, Coundon, Bishop Auckland, DL14 8NX

17 Helmsley Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Coundon, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 8NX). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 68.6% above the 2006 sale of £86,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£69/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
