About 31a
31a is a two-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 is 17.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 44.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
