Overview

About 14 Swain Court

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

14 Swain Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–77 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

Held since October 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 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2007–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -23.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 38.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 14 Swain Court is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for 14 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 14 Swain Court was lodged in October 2018 at band C and is valid until October 2028. 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 14 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: 14 Swain Court is in council tax band A. 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.
