Overview

About 26 Church Lane

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

26 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 287 m² (around 3089 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 287 m² the property is well over the postcode median (166 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £677,000 sits 200.9% above the 1997 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 63.1% below the postcode norm.

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 26 Church Lane is modelled from its 287 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1DF. 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 26 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 26 Church Lane was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 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 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 1DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 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.
