Overview

About 1 Tower Hill

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

1 Tower Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Middleton St. George, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 281 m² (around 3025 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 73). Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 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 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £772,000 sits 60.8% above the 2008 sale of £480,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 Tower Hill is modelled from its 281 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1DU. 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 Tower Hill. 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 Tower Hill was lodged in December 2023 at band C and is valid until December 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 1 Tower Hill. 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 1DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Tower Hill is in council tax band G. 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.
