Overview

About 2 Desmond Road

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

2 Desmond Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 68.5% above the 2013 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Desmond Road is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1AN. 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 2 Desmond Road. 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 2 Desmond Road was lodged in February 2016 at band C and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Desmond Road. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 1AN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Desmond Road is in council tax band E. 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.
