Overview

About 21 Eden Crest

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

21 Eden Crest is a semi-detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
