Overview

About 7 High Row

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

7 High Row is a semi-detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DN). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2002–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £601,000 is 35.7% below the 2022 sale of £935,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£712/sq ft) was about 311.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £935,000 in August 2022. 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 7 High Row is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3DN. 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 7 High Row. 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 7 High Row was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 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. 3 applications are matched to 7 High Row. 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 3DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 High Row 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.
