Overview

About 12 Swain Court

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

12 Swain Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 77 m² this is the 26th 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 (April 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £97,000 is 15.7% below the 2022 sale of £115,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Last sale on file: £115,000 in June 2022. 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 12 Swain Court is modelled from its 77 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 12 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 12 Swain Court was lodged in April 2015 at band C and expired in April 2025, 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 12 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
12 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.
