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.

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 21 Eden Crest is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3DD. 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 21 Eden Crest. 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 21 Eden Crest was lodged in July 2015 at band E and expired in July 2025, 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 21 Eden Crest. 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 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 3DD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Eden Crest is in council tax band A. 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.
