About 2 Farnham Close

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

2 Farnham Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Auckland Park, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 8YR). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2013) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 96). The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 is 11.4% above the 2015 sale price.
