Overview

About 8 Swain Court

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

8 Swain Court is a two-bedroom property in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 769 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 71 m² this is the 22nd 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 (December 2009) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 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.
