25 The Oaklands is a semi-detached house in Middleton One Row, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 126 m² it's 27.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 21 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 is 29.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 18.3% below the postcode norm.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
