Overview

About 1 Church Close

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

1 Church Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1739 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 55.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 29.4% below the postcode norm. 15 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 162 m² it's 22.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (132 m² median across 7 EPCs).

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 Church Close is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1DT. 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 1 Church Close. 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 Church Close was lodged in March 2009 at band D and expired in March 2019, 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. 15 applications are matched to 1 Church Close. 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 1DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Church Close is in council tax band F. 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.
