Overview

About 8 Waters End

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

8 Waters End is a three-bedroom detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1108 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 53.9% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
