Overview

About 7 Waters End

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

7 Waters End is a three-bedroom detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 9 EPCs). Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 35.2% above the 2015 sale price.

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 Waters End is modelled from its 127 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 3DU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Waters End. 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 Waters End was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 7 Waters End. 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 3DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Waters End is in council tax band E. 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.
