Overview

About 1 Swain Court

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

1 Swain Court is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 68 m² this is the 15th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 30.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 19.8% 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 1 Swain Court is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1DQ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Swain Court. 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 1 Swain Court was lodged in July 2020 at band C and is valid until July 2030. 2 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 1 Swain Court. 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 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 1DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Swain Court is in council tax band B. 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.
