Overview

About 5 Church Lane

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

5 Church Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 426 m² (around 4585 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since October 2014. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 426 m² the property is well over the postcode median (248 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £939,000 is 12.5% above the 2021 sale price. Sold June 2021 for £835,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 5 Church Lane is modelled from its 426 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1DD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Church Lane. 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 5 Church Lane was lodged in November 2015 at band F and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 5 Church Lane. 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 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 1DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Church Lane is in council tax band G. 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.
