Overview

About 20 Abbey Road

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

20 Abbey Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Sadberge, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1SS). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) returns a high B (score 91), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 108). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a corner plot.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 14.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 34.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold January 2021 for £265,000. 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 20 Abbey Road is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1SS. 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 20 Abbey Road. 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 20 Abbey Road was lodged in March 2016 at band B and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 Abbey Road. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from DL2 1SS. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Abbey Road is in council tax band D. 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.
